Night Sights for Walther p99

I'm thinking of putting night sights on my Walther and would like some recommendations.
I'm leaning toward Trijicons, but am open to suggestions.
Whatever I decide, I do have a question. The factory Walther sights have a windage ajustable only rear sight and four interchangeable front sights, to compensate for elevation.
What about the different night sight offerings? I've looked on the Trijicon web site, and it appears that the rear sight is non-adjustable, and I don't see any choices for front sight height.
So, how does it work for Trijicons and others?
Thanks.
 
Can't speak for the Trijicons, I have Meprolights on 2 of mine. They are windage adjustable just like the factory sights. And no special tools are needed to install the rear site.

Every night sight I've seen for the P99 only comes with one front blade. It is the middle size (standard one). You will need to find a small hex screwdriver to put on the front sight (at least for the Mepros). I got mine at Elliot's Hardware.

I put a set of nite sites on my .40S&W P99 that I bought from Earl's Repair Service, Inc.

I bought the second gemeration set. They are a tad costly at $125.00 per but, the workmanship and quality takes a back seat to no others.

They are simple to install and I found the supplied front sight to be of proper weight for 165gr. and 180gr. bullets from 15-25 yds.
 
I also have the Trijicons, and am happy with them. As noted, the rear is adjustable. It slides into the dovetail, and uses the existing P99 windage screw. I found that mine had a bit of play in it, but not enough to cause the aim to be wrong, and I suppose that's required to allow enough room for a user-installed item.

The front site does install with a hex nut, and requires a screwdriver-type socket, but one thing you should be careful of is to get a driver that will fit within the radius of that inset well where the front site sits on the underside of the slide. Otherwise, you'll have to 'make' one. I had to grind down one of my cheapo hex nut drivers with my Dremel, but we now have a great driver for future installs at the range. :)

HTH.
