Installed a set of Williams FireSights on my Ruger 22/45 and what a difference it makes when you have aging eyes. They pick up very quickly and are a big improvement over the factory sights, if you like fiber optic sights.

Midway; $50. shipped.
Took about five minutes total, to install both of them. The pivot pin on the rear sight will push out with a small nail, once you remove the elevation screw and take the tension off of it. Just don't lose the coil spring under the sight. Just a tiny dab of clear nail polish on the front sight screw threads will keep it secure, but get the screw tight. I put the barrel in a padded vise and pushed down hard on the screwdriver, when I removed and tightened the screw, to prevent marring the screw head.
