Ordered the Advantage Tactical Sight (ATS) Tuesday when I got home from work and it came in the mail today.

I have one word - Impressive!

Kit even included the front sight tool and allen wrench for the rear sight. I just left the colors they had mounted and installed them.

I have never seen a sight align so easily! I'm going to have to resist putting them on my other pistols! Hope to take to the range on Monday to try them out. Can't wait!!

I'm leanin' towards a shallow U or V rear and a white or brass ball front if ever give up my Novak's. My Tac coach has some on his carry 1911 and I really like them and forgot who makes them (ooops). I like brass beads. They wash out less and really pop for me even in low light. Just my .02. For some reason colors dont work for me they are too busy. But to each his own!

Maybe take some warm -06 and ACP cases afterwards to a final restin' place and share some stoke with a lost brother, give thanks for fightin' for our place to shoot and tell them these were for them?

Looks pretty flash Slim...but only time will tell mate. I think I would not be able to help myself and try to get a perfect triangle alignment, which means I am concentrating more on my sights than anything else.

Keep us posted as to how they go mate.

Cheers, Vince

I have some glow in the dark powder it is great stuff to tootoo with I mixed some in with clear nail polish (I have it for fly tying so dont get any kinky ideas) Ihave painted my bead on the shotty with it man does it stand out in dim light. the powder is cheap az and easy to use. the light switches round the house and my torches all got a dose too. a quick 10secound blast from a torch realy makes it stand out. those sights look good but having a v rear sight up that way would take some getting used too.

Elvis, do you have any more details on this powder? A web link?

I put a Hi-Viz fiber optic front sight on a Ruger Mk II and it seems to do the trick for me. A friend is going to try a Hi-Viz front sight on his GP-100, with a shallow "V" rear sight. I'm looking forward to trying that. If it works like I think it will I'll put the same thing on my Redhawk.
