Easy o install
I needed a replacement fo my TISAS Yukon and this worked like a champ. Careful use of a lighter to swell the ends to stay put.
Would you recommend this? Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Easy filament repair
I have a S&W M&P Pro Series .40 that came with the Novak high-viz sights from the factory. I was shooting and the sights became no-viz - as in the front element went missing. I was guessing at size (didn't think to take a small drill from my box of many bits and find out approx. sizing) but the 1.5 mm turned out to be correct. Cut an approximate length, melted the ends with a lighter - slight heat and they pool right over and hold it in. Nice bright green - like the original - easy fix!

Very Bright
These are very bright and true to size. I opened my Novak front sight (.040") on my Colt 1911 to .060" and slipped one of these in. Great sight picture and bright,just outstanding for quick pick up shooting.
