I'm so glad that they aren't using that low quality Canadian tritium. [/sarcasm]

    Heck - I'd happily send my slide to China if I could get the front sight drilled and a tritium insert installed

    I don’t like their rear sight for the HK, as I think it is too sharp. However, I love their front sight, and have a bunch of them, paired with OEM rear sights, on VP9, VP9SK and HK45C pistols.
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    If I think about it, next time I’m out shooting I’ll sand bag it and try it again. I was shooting offhand, standing, at an oval shaped scoring zone about 3”x6”. Was hitting that consistently.

    My experience with Night Fision:

    I had my gunsmith (40 years experience) install them, since I bent my punches trying to get the old sights off. He accidentally broke the front sight despite saying he'd never done that in all his years. He was using a bunch of little, short, light taps, and said the punch just slid off and hit the base of the vertical part of the sight, and it knocked the top right off.

    I contacted NIGHT FISION and sent them pics of the break, wondering if maybe this was a weak batch of metal, or common occurrence. They said they'd give me 30% off, so I ordered a new sight ($48 + $10 SHIPPING). $10 for a tiny envelope. I THEN noticed the replacement front sight would have been like $15 cheaper at Optics Planet.

    My gunsmith looked at the new front sight very carefully, even with a loupe (comparing it to some other sights, including the SIG XRAYS), and said the vertical part had been hollowed out to connect to the base; he said it looked a lot weaker than most of the big brands like Ameriglos, Trijicons, Dawson, Heinie, and Tru-Glos.

    I'm sure they're strong enough for most stuff, BUT if they get any knock on the vertical part, it can snap off easier than most.

    I definitely regretted getting the colored rears--they were so bright that it made for a busy sight picture. I definitely should have gone for the no-color rear. I've seen the red, orange, and either yellow or green (can't remember what it was called), and the last one was definitely the easiest to pick up in various settings.

    I had our armorer install them with a pusher last night, no issues with the install. Sight picture is "cover the dot" at 7y, which was the only distance I tried them at last night as I didn't have much time before in-service needed the range again. They are bright, no doubt about that. Otherwise, I don't see much difference between the more established brands. Plain rear U-notch, high vis yellow front sight.

    I'm happy with them, particularly compared to the stock Shield sights. I don't know I'd go out of my way for them and am still likely to buy Trijicon or Dawson Precision as well, but they seem like a viable option.

    Our range reopened after repairs/ improvements.

    4" high at 25y, high off paper at 50y (b8 repair circles)

    And I was in the 8 ring with my Glock at 50y, so wasn't just me struggling today.

    Called the company, they are supposed to get back to me early next week.

    That’s how the Night Fision sights are on my CZ P07. On target at 7. 3-5” high at 15-25. Way high at 50.
