A BIG A+ to Chris Z for letting me borrow his G17.  Though I had never shot one, I had a perfect (down 0) run on the "5 to 25" stage with a decent/typical (for me) time.  The time would probably have been a lot better if I had some dry fire time with it.  Also, he had non-standard sights on it which were quite different than what I was used to. 

I can't say enough good about Chris.  What an upstanding guy.

Thanks for coming out and shooting!

Warren Tactical Sevigney Competition sights (black serrated front, as I don't like fiber optics)...... I like them  :-)

One thing that was hard to get used to, and I have only seen this on an FN Tactical, was how thin the front sight blade was.  Everything I have shot before has a wider front blade that fills up the rear notch when aligned.  Did you find that difficult to get used to at first?  Obviously, when I got them lined up, I shot accurately, but it seemed my initial acquisition was slow.

I LOVE having narrower front sights.  I get a lot better accuracy out of them.

And Warren Tactical makes good sights.  (I prefer the fiber optic front, though.  :) )

....if you shot just as fast as with your normal gun, but with that level of accuracy, think of what you could be doing if you actually PRACTICED with a Glock!

You know, instead of the knockoff brand you currently shoot.  :P

1) As I have stated before, I don't own a Glock, and never will.

2) See item 1 above

BUT, If I come up with the money for the KL-2 (very similar in size to a G17) or the KL-3 (looks like a G34), I may consider those sights.

Just curious...what is the theory behind the thinner front sight?  Logically (at least the way my mind works) it seems that filling the rear sight notch with the front sight blade would tell you that you are on center.  Whereas it seems the thinner blade would have a lot of room for slop, for lack of a better term.
