I added a fiber front sight to my Ruger MKIII as well, it's a great addition.

My Ruger MKIII Hunter came with a fiber optic "light pipe" front sight. I love it very accurate. Especially after a Volquartson trigger kit. I have my sights set so that the light pipe visually contacts the rear sight at the 5 and 7 o'clock. Eliminates drifting POI towards a side light source at least for me anyway.

Tried to find tritium, can't locate for that gun.
Definitely a "keeper".

You could always drop a Holosun 508T on one for her if it has the rail. I doubt the rear will make as much improvement at the front sight. A tritium front should be similarly helpful in lower light. Once we get to bifocals they can cause issues with open sights. Sounds like she's deadly even on a bad day. Definitely a keeper.

My wife's practice gun. I, without asking, ordered and installed a fiber optic "light pipe" front sight for it and asked her to go shoot it. The results were pretty amazing. She is a good shot, naturally, but has always had some difficulty with this pistol, generally an inch or so "off" at 30 yards. First shot was about an inch and a half left and an inch high on a 4x6 steel target... she then dead centered 6 shots on 3 targets. She was having trouble clearly IDing the front sight. The light pipe fixed it. I knew it would make a difference, just not such an immediate and dramatic difference.
I'm now going to order and install an adjustable fiber optic rear sight for this gun.
