Came on my Nighthawk GRP II Bobtail 05/09/2012
I would not recommend this rear sight. It's a great concept to have a protected and simplified adjustable rear sight, however the wings on each side really throw off my sight picture. I put myself on the timer using my Nighthawk Custom GRP II Bobtail with adjustable Novak night sights and my Ed Brown Kobra Carry with standard Novak night sights. Overall I was slightly faster at acquiring a good sight picture and scoring better hits on target. If you're thinking about using this for a defensive pistol, I'd say to just go with a correct height rear sight. If you're thinking about putting this on a gaming gun for USPSA or IDPA, you're definitely looking at the wrong product. Not only do they slow you down, but they are also taller than standard fixed Novak sight. They aren't very good looking to boot.
Flawless after 7 years 20/01/2012
I had these installed in 2004 on my Springfield GI 45. I have fired literally thousands of rounds through this pistol since and I could not be happier. I paid 280 for the front and rear sight and the affiliated machining from a local gunsmith. The metal on the GI 45 made it a tough job for the gunsmith, but he even commented on the great choice I made.
If you are looking to get one set of sights and never do it again, these are a great choice. I use this gun as my dedicated carry weapon and it never fails to please at the range either.
