JUNK!!!!!! DO NOT BUY

These sights are a joke. I installed them on my glock 22, they are horrible I can't see the front sight in the dark at all. The rear sights are bright but you're going to need a big hammer to get them on. I will be taking them off and placing them in the trash.

This is probably the worst sights I ever had on anything. Here is the deal: the rear sight is OK, has a set screw and is otherwise functional. However the front sight does NOT fit snugly into the oval opening in the slide, is is quite loose. I used first a high-strenght epoxy to help ease its "looseness", and set the screw under it with Loctite. Eventually after about 5000 rounds it was loose again. Took it off, cleaned it, de-greased it and set it this time with superglue between the sight and slide and Loctite on the screw again. Not only was it loose once more, but after a total of about 8000 rounds the fibre just fell out. That was the last straw for me. The design is inherently flawed - a thin, small screw is supposed to hold a very loose fitting sight in place that has its centre of gravity far away from the screw. This is very noticeable as the sight was constantly "banging" on the slide, damaging itself and loose some of its black finish where it impacted the slide. Now these impacts come from 1/100'th of an inch that it moves, this little tiny bit of looseness. Add to that the fact that the tritium capsules are not the brightest on the market, plus the fibre part of the sight gets dirty from powder residue and thus does not illuminate as well, and neither is easy to clean. All in all the front post of this sights set is completely unfit for purpose. Looks and feels fine just as long as you don't shoot the gun its mounted on. And yes, I did chose the correct sight for the correct gun, correct generation of glock as well so it had no reason not to work, at least on paper.

Do not waste your money

I shoot competitive and fire about 400 round per week. I have owned three of these, in all cases the fiber fell out after a few months of use. I went to a different brand and have had no problems since.
