Are tritium inserts in rear sights necessary?

Steve
I guess all those hours in the kill house and doing nite fire have been a waste. After all you're a master top-secret pistol smith first class. Seeing how I manage to put the round where it needs to be, I really don't need you to tell me of what I am capable. Until you have had someone in your sites in a low lite crack house, don't tell me about site alignment. Giving an opinion is one thing, but a sermon I don't need. What you feel is best, is not for all.
 
Oh by the way, weapon drawn from holster, target engaged at 15yds, two rds fired into the 10 ring and at low ready in under 2 secs. But I should probably practice a little more. After all I don't have alot of titles to impress everyone.
 
Sorry if my point was misunderstood, or mistaken , what I was trying to say is that under "most" situations that front and rear are better for NEW shooters who have not yet learned proper shooting technique,I did not mean to offend you, but I have also had to dissengage an unwanted felon. And yes I do build very highly specialized weapons for law enforcement and many other federal agents, I build very serious guns for serious people,This is not a game to me it has been my business for nealy 20 years. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by One:

You are very right sir, my point did not get across well. My comment was for a "new" shooter only.I personaly shoot with front only,Thanks SC <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Covert Mission:
Rosco and One, I have to agree. Sorry, Steve (and I too am a twice monthly IDPA shooter and have many hours of tactical training). I have given this topic much thought, and equipped my guns with front tritdot only. It IS personal preference, and I know numerous pro gunslingers (fwiw) who prefer front and rear dots.

The front sight is what you what you focus on, in addition to the target. If there is not enough light to identify/see the target, you shouldn't be shooting, or should use your flashlight. If the ambient light is enough to i.d. the target, it will generally be enough to see your sights, and the front dot will provide visual contrast or separation from the target, even if clad in black. Another benefit for a gun that does range duty in addition to carry/defense, is that an all black rear sight for range work is far better, so this one dot combo works great for dual purpose guns.

For most experienced shooters, I recommend front dot only. Or maybe Richard Heinie's Straight Eight's, with a single dot in the rear. But then, maybe novices have inexperience that night sights alone won't cure. imo[/quote]
 
Thanks for the clarification, Steve. It's easy to come off as very strident in the e-mail text format. I've unintentionally done it a time or two (hundred).

Where is your gunsmithing operation located? Do you have a website?

(P.S. - Is Wilson's Armor-Tuff really just John Norrel's moly-resin?)
 
Remember rule #1, the brighter the nite sites, the easier they`re seen by the BG who`s behind you.
Rule #2: Rule #1 is subject to change without notice. :o

Personally, when I buy my own (as opposed to issue) tritium sights, I only buy the front ones.

That is my preference, you increase your ability to accurately shoot at distance at night dramatically, and get two guns outfitted for the price of one.
 
All shops have a head pistolsmith, as did LES, until 15 NOV 96and as he stated no one will ever have more control than me.SC <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by 45dude:

Rob,

Which brand of night sights do you buy that you can purchase only the front sight? Where do you buy them? TIA

Aquil,

I've bought PT and Meprolite (sp?) front sites from independant dealers, right "off the rack" so to speak. Also, Glock will sell individual sights through their Armorers (and probably authorized dealers).
 
I inst. many Glock nite-sights, using the new WC 463 series sight.SC <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Rob:
