I shot another pistol the other day and noticed that it had a fatter fibre in the front sight which helped me pick it up faster.

I did a little digging and looks like the standard Shadow 2 comes with a 1mm fibre up front, are there any options for front sights with fatter fibres?
 
If you can find some longer generic replacement rods you can make it the size you desire. The "mushroom" comes from melting, start with the front and melt till you have the diameter you want, then cut to fit the front sight. It may take a couple tries to end up where you want.

I can try that (I have fibre optic rod), if nothing else it will freshen up my now dull front sight.

My question was more around if there was a different version of the front sight that accepted a fatter fibre optic rod like this:

I bought 2 from bullseye. I’ve attached a link for the item. I would be installing those to my slides.

I have 1 mm and 1.5mm red and green rod still in stock 6 " or will cut to 3"
If you had 1mm and a sight like that , there should be enough meat to drill to 1.5MM
A 1/16" bit is 1.55mm so darm close
It is bigger, but not like you see on some cheap air guns.
A rifle I have uses 1.5mm .I plan on trying to do one of my old smith revolvers, if light is poor I have to paint front sight.
Maybe when snow flies.
