    Are they as sharp as their other sights?

    I'm still running 45 because slow learner. I don't know if there's anything out there that will hold up over time yet. You mentioned this to me and after some thought I'm with you on it. I don't know how I feel about chopping up my slide to dedicate it to one specific optic.

    The Kensight looks like a really good option.

    I was hesitant at first too, but I'm happy I did. The Wilson system will accommodate other optics, but at this point, RMR (and maybe the Holosun) is the way to go. Just don't purposefully and repeatedly drop it on concrete and use the optic as a charging handle

    Correct. The Brown HD XR sight worked out well for my Novak cut DW Valkyrie. I like that the dot is big, basically spanning the entire width of the .125 front sight.

    I'd like to see Wilson Combat offer a .125 front sight option in orange and yellow in the future. Ed Brown, Kensight, and now Novak offer the .125 front. The .140 is too wide. I wonder if @WilsonCombatRep can put in a good word...

    I just had the Ed Brown front (HD XR) and rear sights installed by Dan Wesson on my 9mm V-Bob while they installed a medium length smooth trigger for me. I got the yellow sight as I think it's more visible indoors. I was apprehensive when I put a micrometer to the rear sight. It was a little off center. I took it to the range last night and could consistently hit the center of the black at 25 yards.
    The sights are great and so was the work Dan Wesson did. Off topic, but they test fired the gun with at least 25 rounds of the 115, 124, and 147 bullet weights and I think they polished the feed ramp, though I can't swear to it. Sight installation plus trigger install plus test firing was $118 plus shipping. I'm extremely impressed by their work and the cost.

    ETA: I picked the wrong picture to include. My sights are the Ed Brown, not the Wilson Combat.
