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

    What's the issue there? (If already discussed, thread pointer?)

    That probably would have been cool, but the logistics would probably have been painful.

    Unless they could design it to an existing spec... but I'm not sure if Glock would be hip on that.

    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 not going to say there's no difference, but I must say we're likely dealing with PII territory here.

    Might be better for consistent alignment. Glock front sights are often cocked a little.

    Ultimately not a huge issue anyway.

    It's true, good reason why an experienced person needs to install them right.
    I use a microlevel and file off a bit on the side that needs it when required.

    What is PII?

    I agree with Greg that the "full depth" rear sight cut is something I don't understand. Anyone have a reason that would be important?

    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.
