Very accurate comments by 41 mag.... Several of my students use the XS system and shoot the sights very well. For me, I have just never cared for the V rear on any gun and went a slightly different route with BigDot front sight on a Commander. Combined it with a large U rear instead of a V. No difference in speed up close but one can still get a fairly "fine" sight picture at distance. ![[Linked Image]](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b77/RJM52/1911/GB021807035.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b77/RJM52/1911/GB021807034.jpg) 15 yards... ![[Linked Image]](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b77/RJM52/1911/GB021807030.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b77/RJM52/1911/GB021807031.jpg) The rear sight was made by a big name smith in NY whose name I can't recall this second.... He will also put a tritium dot or line in the rear sight if requested. Bob

That rear looks like Wayne Novak's "Ghost" sight.
The uninitiated are always easily impressed.

Karl Sokol is the one who made up that sight a couple of years before Novak brought out his... He is in Vermont not NY like I was thinking. When I went to his shop I was visiting a friend in NY... http://www.chestnutmountainsports.com/ Someone asked about a tritium rear V...doesn't XS still make theirs? ...answered my own question...24/7 Express... http://xssights.com/index.php?nID=sights&cID=Sights&pID=sights&sID=handgun Bob

XS makes the Tritium Rear for some pistols but not all, they said the M&P Shield rear sight was to small to put the tritium in the V without having to make both front and rear taller to accommodate the Tritium Vials . My opinion for night time use the front sight is the only one that needs the Tritium . If it is to dark to identify your target you shouldn't shoot anyway. If you can see the front sight you will put the bullet in the kill zone at self defense range of 10 yards and under.
