629-5 4" MG/Front Sight Height?

[ferretray]

I want to install a gold bead front sight on my S&W 629-5 Mountain Gun. It has a 4" barrel w/a pinned front sight.
The replacement sights are offered in .300 and .250 heights. Do any of you fine folks know which would be the correct sight for my pistola?
Thanks in advance, Ray

If I am not mistaken, the front height is .250. If you are using the stock rear sight, then the .250 will be perfect. On my competition guns I use a .300 front and a .360 adjustable Millet on the rear.

Thanks Doc. Thats what I've been able to gather so far. I'll be ordering an SDM gold bead front and look forward to installing/practicing with it.
