I have not seen one in person, just some lingo on the internet. But, I have been thinking of finding a Gold Dot front sight for my 1911. I would like to hear from those who have shot them? Where to find them? Pro's and con's? I use fiber optic now.

My wife's revolver came with a gold bead. It was ok. We switched it to a fiber optic. The fiber optic is more visible and easier to acquire. I know some bullseye shooters like gold beads.

I have a revolver and a semi with gold beads, I wish I had them on everything except my target guns. To me they are better than the fiber optic sights for defensive type shooting.

Interesting. I have the exact opposite experience. For me, the fiber optic is easier for defensive shooting and the gold bead is great for target shooting. It just goes to show how everyone's eyes are different.
