    I'm embarrassed to post pics of what I'm running. Basically I have a factory front night sight that was skinnied down to .120. Unfortunately, the vial gave up the ghost and I painted the whole front sight gloss orange after a base of white. On the rear, I'm running the factory night sight with the vials suppressed by a Sharpie. It isn't pretty but I can track it like a boss. I've shot HD's and prefer the bright orange square to the circle but I could learn to live with it. I irrationally miss the tritium in my front sight. (Irrationally, because I'm running an X300)

    I'm at the point that I've bought enough different sights that I'm waiting to see how these print as far POI/POA second hand.

    As far as me; I'm buying Defoor with no tritium and not touching until I something I know works comes available.

    I like the shape of the HDs but I want a 25 yard POA/POI with a thinner visible front sight.

    I'm not paying $120 to play the guessing game again.

    God Bless,

    Brandon

    ETA: I also don't want a really tall front sight anymore. Make it lower, thinner, and bright front.

    I just saw that these sights are available for the P30/VP9/HK45. Shut up and take my money already!

    I've been really happy with the HDs on my carry 226 and 239. I would prefer a thinner front but the hi-vis is critical to my old eyes. Without range glasses, sight alignment for me is big big bright thingy in the U shape thingy in the back. This works well enough to still be dangerous at distance. I'm lucky in that both hit to the top of the ball.....

    Hoping the smaller version will still be usable for me without the range RX.

    Can I ask what paint you are using? I've tried a couple different options, was never pleased with the result...not bright enough.

    Thanks

    John,
    Ameriglo has the orange CAP front sights as replacements for #8 Sig sights. (square ProGlo). I'm running one on my P250.

    Unfortunately, that's a .140 and I'm really fond of a .120.

    Yeah. I thought that they were offering a #6 version as well, but I'm not seeing it on their site.
