Perhaps Ameriglo might be an option? They seem to be working with the factory on the new DA/SA G19...
And personally, the original version Les looked much better than the plunge cut.

We'll see if it isn't a mistake... Who knows. Made the copy editor just slapped whatever worked into the description.
It is seeing something and having to say, "wait... what?" that is the most frustrating. We'll see. WC makes great go-fast gear for the Beretta and was awesome at resurrecting the Brig system from Beretta - could be just lost in translation somewhere along the way...
Anyway, folks... It's Suntory time...
Per Wilson Customer Support:
I'm sorry, but we cannot make any changes to this sight.
If we can help in other areas, please let us know.
Have a good week!
Response:
Well, honestly you messed up the sight. The prototype with full serrations was what most I've talked to would have purchased, including myself. The problem with your rear sight setup is the multiple planes in relation to the eye, which isn't nearly as fast or precise as a single surface.
Thanks for your response, and I would highly recommend you offer your standard U notch battle sight, and a plain serrated rear face square notch.
It's a shame that (name redacted) approached you with an idea, and found some high level people to T&E it, and you didn't produce what was T&E'd, nor gave any credit to him. That's pretty shady.
Les, do you have any interest in pursuing this sight with Dawson, Ameriglow, Fusion Firearms, or any other companies that can do sights?

I appreciate the verve, but let's see what's up and then decide a course of action...Originally Posted by jeep45238
Got a WC email blast this morning and your sights are a featured item, but it gives you no credit, saying they were developed by Bill Wilson.

The Pep sights aren't on the website yet. The quoted text is from the description of the battlesight.
The SKU numbers match what Les posted. I'm sure Wilson has lattitude with naming of the parts.
The sight is different - it has been a surprise for me. I wasn't told that they were going to change the sights - no word from WC as of yet.
Hell, might just pick up the phone and ring today.
Honestly, I'm just a dude with a retarded nickname that shoots ok and likes the Beretta - he can market his products anyway he wants - I don't want any royalties, attributions, etc. I just want the dudes who listen to my drivel to get the product they expect and deserve.
Sorry folks. Still trying to sort this out...
I see that now (I searched for the text SN quoted and it popped the old sights); but it's the same text that's on the other "battlesights." My assumption would be that marketing people is marketing people and they did a copy pasta.
When Les mentioned the plunge cut I was like "figures, that's cheaper than serrations." To look at them, though, they're still doing all the work of the serrations, and just adding the step of the plunge cut, so it sure isn't cost savings.
Hearing, through a friend, that something went wrong and they made the wrong sights...
Fingers crossed & good vibes, y'all?
