NOVAK - Tactical Front Sight, Green

The Novack name is legendary. Bought 2 of these to replace the OEM front sight on a 44 and 34 both with adjustable rear sights. This model is very visible when there is lighting on it. Great for all applications. I didn't mark "tactical" as a best use thinking that most would choose a sight with its own source of illumination for low light situations. As a tip, I measured the height of the OEM sights to ensure that I wasn't buying replacements that were significantly shorter or taller and having the risk of running out of elevation adjustment.

The fiber optic tube is light, LIGHT, yellow, and nowhere near green. Disappointed and surprised that this sight cleared quality control. I'll send it back and try again.

I've used a number of Novak sights before, and I've always been pleased. Until now. Installed this sight in a G19. The fit of the sight in the slot in the slide was extremely loose. If it shoots loose, there are some fixes that I think will work. Most aftermarket front sights I've put into Glocks have fit tightly or even required the swipe or two of a file. The quality of the light pipe was poor at best, flawed and very dull. I'll replace it with a better quality fiber optic rod from my tool kit, so I can work around this too. I'll continue to support Novak and hope that these unsatisfactory sights are few and far between.
