World's Strongest Glock Adjustable Sight

[D.R. Middlebrooks]

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 ?

Our Fiber Optic inserts won't break off and our sight is stronger by design. We even make our own screw. Check out our screw test below. We deliberately over tightened the screws to shearing point. But the shanks didn't fail, even though we ripped the heads off them!!

Looks great but what about those who prefer a flat target blade similar to BoMar rather than inset blade? 

That’s what they make BOMARS for…   

Well, at least they used, too, they’re out of business now. 

I'm 65 and have enough trouble picking up the front sight without my eyes having to wade thru that inset rear blade. 

Ken Tapp had the same problem, but he fixed it by using the Pro-Sight V-Notch to win the Nat’s in Record Breaking style…

What is the reasoning for the inset? 

The reason is for BOTH protection and for glare…

Would it give up too much protection if one was machined to provide something similar to what I am describing?

Yep…

Heinie angled his rear blade on one model to cut glare.

No he did not. It was to aid concealed carry and improve the draw from concealment. He serrated it to help with the glare.

Thanks D.R. Much appreciated info. Certainly worth checking them out.

No offense to your sight, it looks good, but get off Bomar, they are out of business because the old man died, Mom sold a few sights for a few years out of old stock parts with a long time employee assembling. Still the best selling adjustable sight for 1911's are Bomar copies, and everybody and their brother are making them, including XS with their V notch rear. Why can you buy almost any slide already cut for the Bomar?

Good luck with your sights.

Please re-read my post #11 and notice the sad faced smilie at the end. The guy asked me this question:

To which I responded:

I was VERY sorry to hear Bomar went out of business. I heard the guy got killed changing a tire on the highway. Very sad indeed. And what’s even sadder is the fact that people were ripping off his sight design LONG BEFORE the accident. 

Very Respectfully,

D.R.

Thank you for your prompt reply, Bomar being made in Tx, and I being a fellow Texican, kind of got my feathers up, no disrespect implied or intended. The main reason I have a milling machine in my garage was installing low mount Bomar sights.

Best of luck with your new sights, durability is a good thing.

I totally agree that Bomar sights are still highly desirable for the 1911.  

But not so for the Glocks. Seems people want low profile “bolt on” sights for them.

None taken...

Thanks and best of luck to you, too, Sir!

Here's the new 2-Dot rear blade. The interchangeable rear blades automatically re-zero when you change them out:

Nice looking rear sight. Does it have enough adjustment to work on a 26 to 17L slide length? Love to see another vid depicting the adjustment mechanism. The Warren/Sevigney fixed design never seems on for me with 124's.
Had a buddy whose stock 19 fell out of his holster on the rear sight at a USPSA match and it broke in half! Weird thing is in the only remaining stage, he scored the best out of the day with no rear sight at all!

We’ve yet to have a Glock we can’t zero-in. 

Love to see another vid depicting the adjustment mechanism.
