I think you're both correct. Skinner Express and for the front, I don't know. That brass bead covers everything at 50 yards and beyond. Dremel the bead off, Lyman Globe sight. Hmm.
Back to the .357. Al, what is your load with 158's and 2400? I know 2400 works wonderful with XTP's.
Get one of Skinner’s Patridge fronts. I have one with the Express on my .357 and it’s great. Doesn’t obscure the target like the factory sight does.

Thanks for the sight info Redthies! That looks like it will do nicely. Sheese, at that price, it is certainly worth the try.
Thanks again.

No problemo. Given how cheap they are, I don’t see why anyone would not include one in their order. It wouldn’t be any fun getting the Express and then discovering that they need a taller front and doing the order/ship thing all over again.
