Hi /K/,
Well, last year I wanted a new Glock 17, and stumbled into one of those Vicker's brand Glocks. I figured it would be fine, and the few upgrades would be ok.
Well, the wilson sights are terrible. I like a fiber optic front with a straight black rear sight, but the notch is too big and curved at the bottom and I hate them. I was dropping 25 yard shots regularly at the range last week.
Anyway, I'm thinking about swapping over to Dawson Precision Charger sights. Same concept (fiber optic front, plain black rear), but a better and tighter rear sight notch.
Any other suggestions of sights to look at.
Serious shooters only please, mallninja's opinions not welcome.

There's a lot of bullshit they throw on Glocks now. IMO it's best to buy a stock one and change what you don't like as you go.

Buying new sights isn't going to make you a better shooter. The reason the rear notch is so wide is to make sure you're on target at 25yds and out. I've used Warren and WC sights with a wide U-Notch. The problem isn't the sights, it's you

You just suck at shooting. Bedazzling your sights won't change that.

Yeah, no.
I clang steel at 25 regularly with a host of guns. This is the first time I've had an issue in years. The vickers glock is a back up for "ole trusty", a Gen2 with a set of hiviz I use at IDPA and USPSA. A spring broke mid match last year, so I went to buy a second 17 as a back up, and they happen to have a vickers.
The U-notch is my main culprit, but it could be something else. And, yeah, maybe I just need more practice with them...could be.

No, yeah. It's you.

First of all, thank you.
Secondly, I've taken a Proctor class, and these sights mesh up with his approach to sight acquisition. These are certainly a contender.

>>34007747
Yeah, I was looking for a 3/4gen gun, hopefully used, and they happen to have the Vickers, so I decided to give it a shot. Partial impulse buy.

Got these on my glock 26 carry, no complaints

What brand?

>>34007735
Be patient, there is a good chance that you just need to get used to the new sights.

>>34007735
Honestly those sights are garbage for anything but close range SD style shooting.
>>
>>34007974
very much a possibility. I'll probably spend a little time with them this weekend before I make a decision.
>>
>>34008033
Yeah, that's what I think, but a few posters disagree.
When I see that Patmac, Mike Panonne, and Frank Proctor all avoid u-notch, it certainly makes me 2nd guess them.

2nd guess the sights, not those shooting gods
