Most open frame guns shoot high and off to one side which means the front sight needs to be elevated and given some windage to hit POA which clears being able to look over the cylinder through the hammer notch. A trick I have used for windage in non dove tailed front sights is to make the blade offset to the mounting cut/mortise. You can hardly notice it being off center and yet it allows for a windage correction. Also I wouldn't be totally adverse to TIG welding up the hammer notch and recutting off center a bit so all the windage would not have to be up front. Heat control paste would be needed to keep the hammer face hard and it might have to be recased.
