    As per Jeff Cooper

    (Years ago we coined the appellation, “Preoccupation with Inconsequential Increments,” or PII. This peculiarity lies in attributing importance to measurable deviations so small as to be meaningless. You see it in the people who shoot test groups in rifles, awarding a prize to a group which is only thousandths of an inch smaller than those unrewarded. One sees it in speed records awarded in one-thousandths of one mile-per-hour. One sees it in basketball scores which, nearing the century mark, are separated by less than three points. In all such cases Score A is “better” than Score B, but who cares??

    Voodoo man,

    Please post the width of the front sight when you get a chance. Like a lot people, I am looking for an improved version of the HD's. One of the improvements would be a front sight that doesn't take up the whole head box on a 25 yard USPSA/IDPA target.

    Are these available yet?

    Hopefully there is not a coil spring in the FBI model sights?
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    I love my Spartan Operators and can also add that a notable difference is that the public model rear sight is not serrated on the back. I don't see that has been addressed here yet.

    I wish Ameriglo would give HK owners some love!

    Then again, it makes Glock owners feel better about brass to the face.

    Agreed. Perhaps _I_ am the unobservant dumb-ass, but those sights, except for the orange-instead-of-green front and the writing/lettering/whatever on each sight, look identical to these... which are Trijicon HDs. I've been told that the AmeriGlo's front bright spot is a tad smaller in diameter. At any rate, whoever is manufacturing those sights is doing basically the same thing for Trijicon AND AmeriGlo. I don't get all the glowing interest either. Sights are sights... some work for some, some don't. Its purely a subjective, personal thing.

    And any of you who think the feebies always buy the best shit... well, I've got some things for sale myself.

    Yes... this one is headed that way, fast. The only better one I've seen in recent memory is the infamous split times for non-competitive shooters interested only in self-defense.

    You and 572 need to coordinate your stories, 'cause I am getting confused.

    Of course they rip your clothing too....

    These seem to be everything everyone asked for. I need to measure them and see how they differ thickness wise from the HDs.

    I'm with you 100% on this. My (limited) experience with HD's leaves me liking the concept, but the POA\POI difference spoils it for me.
