I realize a lot of folks like fiber optic sights. I have also reached the age where it is getting hard for me to bring the front sight into crisp focus, but dammit.
As much as I enjoy the 329PD I picked up recently, I cannot abide those stupid, toyish, fragile looking sights on my pistol. I ordered a new red ramp front from Brownells and finally got it in.
At the first opportunity I'm ripping the red plastic junk off the barrel and installing the new sight.
Then I have to worry about replacing the blade on the rear sight. The genius put a blade on it that looks like it is a half inch tall and cut a ridiculous V notch. You know, the one that works so well K98 Mausers and the like.
I'll eventually have it changed into a butterfly from this caterpillar, but good grief, I'd much rather them stay with the sights that have worked for decades, over the gadget trash that they went with.
Ok. Now that I got that out, I feel much better.
