Taller front sight.

If you use a P.38 front sight, you have two choices to make it more functional. The blade as a flat top as opposed to the pointed top of the Luger front sight.

Your first choice would be to modify the sight blade to a contour you find pleasing, or tapered which would be matching the original.

Your second option, to be used ONLY if your gun is a mismatched shooter class pistol, would be to open the rear V-notch to a square contour to match the new front sight. This would give the gun a more modern sight picture, and perhaps make it easier to use for active pistol shooters...

Of course I don't recommend making either modification until you determine that the sight is tall enough for your purposes...

Good Luck and let us know how it goes...
