    Default Heinie Straight 8 sights - w/ pics

    I like a dot-on-dot sight arrangement. I looked for a while and found what I had in mind - Heinie Straight 8s.

    I saw on Springfield's web site that they supply and install Heine Straight 8's - what I didn't know is that they were tritium - what a nice surprise.

    The sights, their installation, return shipping, the whole deal cost me $113.95.

    Here are two pics, they are on the slide of my XD45:

    Lights on


    Lights off


    Well, what do you think?

    Those look good. I was thinking of doing the same sights on my xd tactical 9mm.

    Thanks, the SA Custom Shop did a good job for me. I used them because I couldn't budge the stock sights on my XD45. Lots of folks said I'd have to cut them out and I was not confident in my skill to do something that radical.

    So, after some goggling and forum advice, I sent them to SA. Glad I did, too. I really like 'em.

    Change them to what? That was my problem - deciding what to get to replace the ones I had.

    I'm still in the deciding phase. I like the heine but I also like the truglo TFO's. Maybe I will decide eventually.

    I have TruGlo TFO's on my G19 if you want to check them out. I like them pretty good myself.

    I would like to check them out. Maybe we can get together and shoot a little bit.
