Paint the front site yellow or red.
I beg to differ... I can put 3 out of 5 within 2" at 25 yards with a 638. It is that accurate.you don't need to see the sights on a j-frame. it is not a target gun. it is made for close up defence, not long range. 5 yards and in, all you need to do is point and shoot. i carry a s&w model 60 as my "bug" on duty and i don't use the sights. on "q" days i point and shoot the gun untill we get to the 25 yard line phase. then i use what sights the j-frame has.
You can go even further with the epoxy system if you want. There are epoxy pigments available is many colors. One small can would last a lifetime! You mix the epoxy up then add the pigment and apply. Impervious to most solvents when cured and very abrasion resistant.Another fan of Testors- save that I mix up a drop of Devcon 2 ton epoxy, and put a toothpick-administered drop or two of the paint into the epoxy (after mixing, before application). Seems more resistant to abrasion and some solvents.

Point and shoot is all well and good unless, of course, in the process of defending yourself or your loved ones you need to deliver a precise shot. Then the sights would be invalueable and anything that improved my ability to see them would be greatly appreciated....I tend to agree with Frank Mako. 642 or similar is a close range point and shoot gun. With practice it becomes pretty easy.
