Need a Security Six front sight blade!

I picked up a stainless Ruger Security Six recently, and found that the front sight blade is slightly bent, and a bit loose to boot. I figured that fixing it wouldn't be much of a problem, but I was dismayed to discover that while I can buy virtually every part at Numrich, for some reason firing pins and front sights are a no go (I did, however, purchase a smooth trigger to replace the horrible serrated version).

So, any suggestions? If I had my druthers I would install a patridge blade, and if necessary I will file one out of flat bar stock, but I'd sure like to hear about an easier source of replacement blades.

In the increasingly dimmer regions of my mind I seem to recall being able to adapt a Smith & Wesson blade into the Ruger base but that is likely wild thoughts from too much exposure to patchouli oil in my misbegotten youth.
