Looks great but what about those who prefer a flat target blade similar to BoMar rather than inset blade?  I'm 65 and have enough trouble picking up the front sight without my eyes having to wade thru that inset rear blade.  Other sights have this same situation so I'm not criticizing just asking.  What is the reasoning for the inset?  Would it give up too much protection if one was machined to provide something similar to what I am describing?

Thanks,

Richard

I thought sights were not needed for a G pistol as they are that "perfect".... ::)

As a "Kool-Aid", Dark-Side "G" owner, I support this message.....

Here's a thought,....beat on the block with the "front sight"......

Seriously, this torture of a rear sight goes far and beyond normal or even duty carry. Haven't seen stuff like this since they used pistols as hammers to nail "Wanted" posters on poles,...... ;)

Do we have an MSRP?

Good question Richard…  8)

Before I answer in detail, let me say that in addition to the conventional Square Notch rear blade we now have a V-Notch blade as well (my personal favorite, as I’m 58 years old). Take a look at the sight pictures below and you’ll see it. And as far as SPEED and ACCURACY goes, listen to this testimonial:

“At age 66 I just couldn’t see my Bomars anymore, so D.R. suggested I tryout his Pro-Sight® V-Dot. I used it to win the Second Chance National Police Combat Championships. I set new National Records for Low E.T. and I shot the FASTEST aggregate time ever recorded.” – Ken Tapp, OK

It is VERY important to note that some ALL TIME SHOOTING GREATS were at the match that Ken Tapp won. Guys like JERRY Miculek and Jerry “The Burner” Barnhart, just to name a few.  And the OLD MAN BEAT THEM ALL using the V-Notch Sight with a ROUND Red Dot and a 1/2" wide blade!!!

Go to the YouTube video and fast forward to 2:54 and you'll see me beating the block with the front sight. I believe that our Fiber Optic front sight is as strong or stronger than anything out there.

LOL!! :D

I guess we (at least you and me) need a STEEL BUTT PLUG for the G-Locks so we can use it as a hammer as well!!!  ;D

Come to think of it, I got a horse that does needs shoeing...   :-\

Oh no ! Not another Butt Plug
Glock shooters are a lot weirder than I want to be around.   ;D

How did the fiber optic stand up to that sort of abuse ?
Obviously it won't take the abuse the white dot / steel blade did, but does the steel mounting make it tougher than comparable FO sights ?

DR, you never answered my question.  I'm not talking a V notch vs. a square notch, I'm talking a flat BoMar type blade vs. the inset type blade on your new sight.  Wayne Novak stated the inset blade on his sight was needed to cut glare on the rear sight but that was what serrations were for.  Heinie angled his rear blade on one model to cut glare.

Thanks,

Richard

A little history lesson:  8)

The extra wide BOMAR style blades were originally designed for shooting BULLSEYE targets with a 6:00 hold.

Back in the day (late 1970’s for me) everyone started shooting Combat Pistol matches. Because we didn’t know any better, we all took our match “Bullseye Guns” out and started competing in IPSC (International Practical Shooting Confederation) with them. Later, we started USPSA (United States Practical Shooting Confederation) on the back of my old pickup truck.  8)

Sights and sight pictures have evolved A LOT since then and we found ourselves grinding the Bomar blades down into what some called “Rabbit ears” because we knew the wide blades over rated for speed and not practical for carry or combat. It also allowed us more visual input as we could see more of the target, as opposed to covering more of iit up. :o

BOTTOM LINE: A ½ inch wide blade is all you really need. It allows us to see more of the target, as opposed to covering more of it up.  If wide blades were the way to go then BOMAR would still be in business.
