The Model 41 Performance Center has a removable front sight, and EWK makes a fiber optic swap-in for it

This information probably doesn't help you much. There's a near zero chance that S&W would sell you just the 41PC barrel, although it would swap in instantly, of course.

The only other option I know of would be to order one of these, and wait...

GBLars,

A product like this might be helpful: http://www.glow-on.com/firearms.html.

 

Well, we'll see how it works. Just ordered the economy size. Thanks for the info. I didn't know such a thing existed.

 

Thanks for the info. I'm trying the phosphorus paint suggested below first. I may have to try for a barrel later. My wife gave the gun to me 20 years ago and it's been a safe queen ever since. I didn't want to get a scratch on it. Well, I'm 74 now so she asks me "what in the world are you saving it for"? So I hope to enjoy it for a few years.

 

Fiber optic front sight

You could have a fiber optic installed on your factory barrel like this one:

It only requires a dovetail machined in. Thanks.

This looks like the best option I've seen. Do you have any idea who I can trust to do this conversion?

 

The other options are: have a custom holster made for your gun with the Burris sight mounted.
Get QR rings for the Burris sight and use your existing holster, though I suspect you want to be able to shoot instantly..

 

I tried Clark and nothing is available at this time. Thanks again for the info.

 

Thank you all for your responses. The glow paint came today so I'll try that first. I would like a recommendation on who could cut the dovetail above.

 

I went through this already. The product you purchased will work. Make sure you stir it good before you use it.

It does not store well. It will start to set up because oxygen gets in the bottle when you open it.

I found this one instead. GUN SIGHT glow in the dark Paint, Scope Marker Glowing pigment Paint kit mix | eBay

This one you mix your self. More powder in the mix, the brighter. I've had my kit for over a year and I can still mix up a batch.

 

GBLars,

Do let us know how the glow paint works out for you. I also live in the "Badger State". For a gunsmith recommendation, contact Bryan Wolfe at Northstar Gunworks.

It is my understanding that he has a two year Associates Degree in gunsmithing. Many who had work done by him were very satisfied with the results.
