Do you have a specific problem with the current sights that you can articulate better? For example you can’t focus on the front sight, or the notch on the rear is too large or small in relation to the front sight.
I don’t seem to be very good at judging if that Tritium dot is equally spaced in that U notch. My groupings,.. especially with this pistol SUCK and are frequently erratic. Especially when I increase my rate of fire.
I generally do much better with the plastic OEM glock sights on my G19 or my Walther PDP with a Holosun 509T. 😁
@Caballoflaco, those Mauser reminiscent sights you mentioned,.. Im wondering if you are referring to something similar to these type speed sights;

IIR, I’ve seen those referred to as speed sights in other places. Sights with a sort of wide, blacked out, shallow v that you have to center a triangular or round shaped front sight in? If so,.. you’re correct in that I wouldn’t care for, or likely fare any better with sights like that!
So to answer your question, No,.. what Im considering switching to is this 3 diamond, interlocking shaped sights that visually,.. and supposedly quickly, LOCK together when properly aligned.

With these sights, there doesn’t appear to be as much wiggle room or slack in the them to allow for easy misalignment or as much minor L/R,.. Up/Down deviation on a “Perfect” POA/POI sight alignment.
Additionally, they would appear to offer a somewhat more instinctual, quick, and potentially better accuracy sight picture for up close, Target focused,.. (read; “Oh SHIT! There’s A bad guy, point & BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG!)
…type, close quarters reaction!
Now im certainly “noob” enough to recognize that I could be Dead Wrong about these sights! (Pun intended).
But upon a cursory look, they would seem to offer a benefit over the Hellcats U notch or even traditional pistol sights. Particularly when compared to having Me & My old assed eyes try in vain to quickly (…and under stress) determine if I’ve got equal height, equal light? 😎🤣
I’d be curious to hear your thoughts. 👍🏻
Update,.. sights not centered. :facepalm:
So,.. took my pistol to the only local range with an Armorer in residence,.. and fml, seems I got the apprentice!!
I took it to the steel target range this past weekend. Couldn’t hit SHITE with it.
The new sights are not quite centered on the slide. Neither Front or rear. Both are a tiny smidge L of center. (…odd considering all the tRump memorabilia in this place!) 😉 🤣🤣🤣😡
Anyway, jokes aside, he appears to have “Scribed” the slide on either side of the dovetail notch. It’s almost Like he measured it, marked it (…or scribed on either side of the OEM sight) and then slid the sights between the marks.
Set aside that Im pretty pissed he scratched up my slide,.. I had assumed, what with him being an armorer and all, and supposedly having ALL the proper tools to do so,…. That he would use something like a set of calipers to measure whether or not the sights were centered after Roughly centering or eyeballing them. THEN, finessing the final center & set.
I’m going back this weekend to have the OLD, GRAY HAIRED DUDE re-center my sights. NOT the 20-30 something kid that did this.
