dskinsler83 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 So what do you all think is the diff in the Sevigney Comp sights and the Heinie Slant Pro sights? They look almost identical. Which is the best combination on size of front with rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biloxi23 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I have a Glock 32 with the Heinie Slant Pro sights and a 35 with the Warren Tactical Sevigny Compettion sights. I bought the Heinie's first, but after shooting a friend's pistol with the Sevigny sights, I bought a set for my 35. I really like the Sevigny sights. The front is a little narrower and the rear notch is a little wider. when mounted on the longer slide of the 35, the resulting sight picture seems more to my liking. It may be the signts, it may be the difference of the longer slide, but I prefer teh Sevigny sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nik Habicht Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 So what do you all think is the diff in the Sevigney Comp sights and the Heinie Slant Pro sights? They look almost identical. Which is the best combination on size of front with rear? Rear serrations? :D I've got guns with both -- and find that the Heinie's (set for .45 Glocks) work better for me on the .45 caliber Glocks. On the 9mm and .40s, it's pretty much a wash; and I find it easy to transition from black on black Sevigny competition sights to the Tritium sights on a house gun to the Heinie sights on the .45s....

dskinsler83 Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 ok two say the sevigny and one says they are the same almost? lol hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 "comme ci, comme ça" ....some like this, some like that. Dawson, Warren/Sevigny or Heinie. None of the above sight sets will hurt your game. All of them will improve it with practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscott Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I have both, but prefer the Sevigny's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoNsTeR Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 The Sevigny has a wider notch than the standard Heinie, .150" vs. 125" (though Heinie also makes a .156"). Other than that the differences are the serrations and the finish (Sevigny is more durable and rust-resistant). I also found the Sevigny to be harder to install, requiring quite a bit of sanding to fit the dovetail. If I were outfitting another Glock, I would have a hard time choosing one or the other.

Flexmoney Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I used to modify the Heinie's to get the sight picture I wanted. The Sevigny sights give that sight picture without needing modification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-man Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I swapped out the sevigny's for dawson/heinie style rear because the sevigny was too wide for me to get accurate shots with a thin front sight (.90). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calishootr Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I have heinie slant pro's on 3/4 of my Glocks, an am pretty happy with all of em, even the straight 8 nite sights give a good crisp sight picture. hell i won 2 out of 3 divisions shot with em at a local GSSF match??? cant be all that bad right??? from the sounds of it, the heinie's are good, and the sevigney's rear opens up a big for a 'quicker' shot??? sounds like a wash to me, you will be happy with either one.

Duane Thomas Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 The Warren Tactical Series-Sevigny Competition sights and the Heinie SlantPro are actually quite different. Are you sure you're not referring to Heinie's Glock Classic Sight Set? http://www.heinie.co....php?info_id=12 Anyway, assuming you are talking about the WTS-Sevigny Competition versus the SlantPro, as I said the two are quite different. The differences in the widths of the rear notches has already been noted. Also the front sight on the WTS-Sevigny Competition is .115" wide, on the Heinie SlantPro it's .125". I say that as someone who has taken files to Heinie SlantPros numerous times in the past in order to get the narrow front blade/wide rear notch sight picture that I get with absolutely no work with the WTS-Sevigny Competition. Another big difference between the two is that the rear sight face on the Heinie is serrated and slanted forward - hence the name SlantPro. I don't like serrated rear sight blades. While touted as "breaking up distracting glare," in my experience they do exactly the opposite, they cause distracting glare. This is made even worse by the fact that the rear blade slants forward. It's like they were trying to design a rear blade to catch and reflect light. On the WTS-Sevigny Competition by contrast, not only is the rear sight face not serrated but it's backdrafted, i.e. the top of the rear sight comes further to the rear than the bottom. This means that, at most angles at which light can come in, bright sunlight just puts the rear blade in shadow instead of turning into distracting glare. For me, WTS-Sevigny Competition versus Heinie SlantPro, it's no contest. It's WTS-Sevigny Competition all the way. Honestly, I wouldn't have a set of Heinie SlantPros on one of my guns. And I say that as someone who used to run them, but removed them to replace them with WTS-Sevigny Comps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I don't get the glare of the serrated Heinie Slant Pro's, but I do off of the Dawson Adjustable. I still have and use my original Heinie slant Pros that I modified, but would buy the Sevigny sights if I were buying today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RePete Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I have the Warren Tactical/Savigny sights on my G17 and they rock. Either Heinie or Warren/Savigny would be a good choice. It boils down to what you like and works for you. Try guns with these sights before you decide, if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Hello: I use the Warren rear sight and a Dawson fiber front sight. I like the rabbit ears on the Warren sight over the Savigney flat blade. I can see targets that are close together and far away better. The Dawson front sight glows better than the Warren for me. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glshooter Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I prefer the Heinie's/Dawson combo. Someone mentioned earlier that Heinie has a standard width and a wide width for the rear sight notch. I wanted something in between and they did it for me. They will work with you. I tried the Sevigny and they were very hard to install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goat68 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I used to have just Heinies when I quit shooting 9 years ago so I was use to the heinie. seeing the hips only confuses me so I have Heinie rear with Dawson front. The fiber optics are great!! Almost like a dot. Almost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goat68 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 "Seeing the hips"? I guess I never really looked closely at the rear. I saw the Warren trade mark and after that I went to a differnt page. Looks like only the tactical rear has the narrowing towards the top design (hips) and the competition has the big block out of everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Ah, I've never heard them called "hips" before. Most people I've talked to call them "rabbit ears". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duame, good stuff. any idea if the Sevigny front sight would be too tall for a 5" gun like the 17? I have them on my 34, but I am not sure how it would do in a 5" gun. Please let me know your thoughts. Thnak you! Sandro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Absolute Zero Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I have both and I prefer the warren/sevigny. The heinies are fine but I'm not a huge fan of the serrations. Plus, I prefer the tritium white outline, and the different colored tritium on the warren/sevigny carry sights for my carry guns. CAZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the Glock 17 is not a 5" gun, it's four and a half inches (or 4.49" if you want to get excruciating precise about it - which apparently I do ). In my experience, exactly where a gun will hit relative to elevation, and even windage, really does vary based on the individual and their hold. Fortunately WTS has various height front sight blades available, and they've got you covered if you need a taller or shorter front sight to bring your gun to perfect POI/POA.

dskinsler83 Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 Well I just bought both and put one set on the G17 and the other on the G34 and to tell you the truth i like both so honestly i think if your looking for a great set of sights but on the cheap buy the Heinie that are just as good IMHO. quick to line up and look almost identical.
