    Glock Sights

    Hello everyone I was wondering if any Glock owners could give me advice for the following: Due to eye strain I want to get larger sights for my Glock handgun , can you recommend any that have worked well for you. Also I am in South jersey and would need someone to install the sights, is this something a typical gun shop can do or is there anyone specific you can recommend. Thank you for any advice.
  2. I recently purchased an FNX 45. Still have yet to shoot the damn thing but work makes it difficult to get the time. It's a sin to leave it there I know. It will have its day( days). To give some background before the question: I have been practicing some dry fire drills to check my stance, grip, trigger pull and sight alignment. I was taught that I should have both eyes open, focus on the front sight and obviously line up the dots. Now my issue is that the stock sights are white up front and white in back. I noticed that I at times will mistake which is the front sight when I practice pressing the gun out from my chest ( half practicing a draw from holster maneuver). Finally for the question: Has anyone tried to color the front sight a different color to make it easier to distinguish from the rear sight? And if so, details of paint, color etc would be appreciated. Oh, and it you thought it was a waste of time or ruined your sight picture. Thanks. KCCO
  3. Does anyone know of a company that makes night sights for the Taurus PT809, or a company that makes a compatible alternative?
  4. So for the most part I'm finished with my first ar. I'm still struggling with what optic to put on it. I am a good shot with iron sights out to 500 and went with the a2 upper and flip rear so I would always have that option. That being said I'd like to be spoiled and get an optic with a little magnification. I'm used to the trijicon rco with a chevron, but at 1100-1300 dollars I'm open for suggestions lol. I was also looking at eo tech holo sight with a magnifier, but seeing as I have never used one its lost on me. (I know they can be equally expensive, but I'm not so much worried about price as I am quality and applicability) Some key points: -target acquisition. Short and long -durability (not gonna treat this rifle like a new born) -how well it holds a zero -if talking about optics using batteries please at least estimate battery life Thanks for any suggestions or input/personal experience -Jim
  5. I've been looking for some alternate sights for my Sig P226 .22 Conversion since my 9mm slide has a Dawson fiber optic front and Warren Tactical rear. Since I compete in IDPA with my Sig I was looking for a similar sight setup for the .22 slide, which by default comes with 3 dot sights. The challenge has been that on the Sig .22 slide the rear sights have a different style dovetail to the standard Sig P226 slides hence I've struggled to find any alternatives. Sig P226 with 9mm slide (Dawson fiber optic front and Warren Tactical rear) Sig P226 .22 Slide with original 3dot sights SPDTools LLC I came across an older post on the SigForum from Scott at SPDTool LLC so dropped him and email to see if he'd be open to trying to make me a new rear sight that could work with a spare Dawson front sight I had and also provide a similar sight picture to my 9mm setup. Scott responded within a couple of hours stating he was willing to try and see what he could do based on a project he had started a while ago which was designed to work with the standard .22 slide front sight rather than the Dawson fiber optic sight which was a different height. He needed a couple of weeks to finish some existing work and then would contact me. A couple of weeks later Scott contacted me, and we worked through what I was after, the POI/POA and sight picture I was after and the actual height of the front sight I was using. As I was acting as the guinea pig we agreed it would be easier for me to send in my .22 slide and spare Dawson fiber optic sight so he could ensure the POI/POA was zeroed in to my needs. The round trip including the work,shipping time, hurricane Sandy and snowstorm Athena was just under 2 weeks and I had a chance to take the new slide to the range today. My current drills focus on drawing from the holster at the buzzer and shooting at a variety of size/color post it notes within a set time. First magazine through the new setup is below - shots fired at 10 yards. I am pleased to say the new SPDTools LLC rear sight worked well with the Dawson fiber optic. I found the sights noticeably easier to bring to target due to the solid rear and fiber front rather than 3 dots. I've included a number of photos below: Sig P226 9mm plus the .22 slide with new SPDTool LLC rear sight You can see the sight radius is shorter due to the design of the .22 slide. While the SPDTool rear sight looks different in profile to the 9mm Warren Tactical, when you actually look through the sights they are similar enough to work well. .22 Slide with SPDTool LLC rear sight and Dawson front sight Fluff on slide and sights in the photo was from cleaning slide post range trip with some cotton patches. 9mm Warren Tactical rear sight and Dawson front sight
  6. Looking for someone experienced to install Meprolight Tactical Wedge night sights on my Kimber Custom Crimson Carry II. I'm hoping I won't have to send it to Kimber (as suggested by Caso's and a couple of other gun shops). I'm new to 1911s in general.. is there any particular reason why Kimber sights are so tricky to replace? Thanks all! Peter.
  7. bought a new M&P Pro 9mm for IPSC shooting... very disappointed... trigger and sights are terrible... go figure, but Smith calls it a pro series... when pulling the trigger, it makes screeching sounds and moves jerkingly... shooting from the bench - aiming at a bullseye positioned at 15 yards, bullet hits the target 5-6" below and a a bit on a left side from the aim point... anyhow... i would much appreciate if somebody could recommend a good gunsmith...
