I'm sitting here admiring my Colt New Service.  This old .45 was made in
1906, and had the traditional knife-edge front sight and teeny little
rear notch.  It shot a foot high and to the left.

Since it had been re-blued (and most of the markings polished out), I
had no qualms about silver-soldering a 1/8" slab of steel on as a front
sight, and opening up the rear notch (which allowed me to adjust windage
as well as elevation.)

I worked up a load with H4227 that drives my 255-grain cast bullets
about 1,000 fps.

Bring on the knives and swords! :-)
