It's too bad they didn't require a Glock with a dovetailed front sight instead of that goofy screw.

I have sights with and without "U" notches and I don't see why people get excited about them. I never notice the bottom of the rear notch while shooting.
Maybe I'm an unobservant dumbass, but I think it is overblown.
Given how flat and wide a Glock slide is, I don't think a dovetail front would be that good of an idea. Too many Leroys would jack up their sights installing/removing them.

I've broken a few front sights off, but they would have been broken off with a dovetail.

I'm unsure what PII is also.
As for U-notch vs. square notch, the theory behind the U-notch is that people like to focus on hard edges. The U-notch takes away those edges and unconsciously you're better able to focus on the top edges of the sights (somewhat like removing dots or tritium on the rear sight, so you can focus better on the front sight). Some people prefer U-notches, some prefer square notches, others have no preference.
Personally I haven't shot U-notch rears enough to come to a conclusion.
