Our 357 BBB has a Skinner Express on the rear and a .495" Lyman Globe on the front - provides a much improved sight picture than the stock buckhorn/brass dot setup.

The Skinner sights are excellent and easy to fit, I recently bought a .44 big boy that is fitted with a marbles tang sight that also works well.

My .44 BBB has had the front sight replaced so instead of a brass bead it has a red fibre optic sight, combined with the rear marbles tang sight that I have or any other aperture sight the sight picture is very easy to acquire. I agree that the longer sight radius achieved by mounting a receiver or tang sight gives better accuracy than replacing the barrel buckhorn sight with an aperture sight, although a barrel mount aperture is a lot better than a barrel mount buckhorn or semi buckhorn sight. Especially for those of us with aging eyes.
