Fitzghan Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Ordered mine from shooters connection on monday….they arrived on wednesday. Fiber is changeable and comes with red and green fiber. It won’t fall out unless you break it in half somehow or cut it. Pardon me of I’m insulting your intelligence but by your question I assume you have not installed a FO front sight before? To do so take the tube and insert it through the holes fully. Next, starting with the side facing the rear sight ( the part you look at) hit it with a lighter and as soon as it begins melting pull it sharply to the rear. It will stop. Next using a pair of nail clippers cut off the remaining FO on the other side leaving approximately 1/16th of an inch sticking out. Take a lighter to that and let it melt into the sight. The FO will now be snug and not move at all. Nail clippers make a very clean cut on the FO and are easiest I find. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fate0n3 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Thanks and no I have messed with quite a few fiber I just wasn't for sure if this sight was similar to a tfo where u really can't change the fiber. I have read quite a few reports of fiber falling out of those that's why I ask. Actually I have 2 guns with warren/sevigny comp sights Thanks again for all the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzghan Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Got to take the new sights out to the range yesterday. I am really very happy with them. I ran all my standard drills with them and shot a plate rack as far back as 35yards. I found them to be fast, accurate and the ratio of front sight width to rear notch width works very well. I shoot 147gr Montana Golds loaded to a 130 power factor. They were point of aim point of impact out to 25yds. Beyond that I “shoot the dot” using the center of the dot as my aim point rather than the top of the sight and the plates were falling no problem. This weekend they will tested in a both USPSA and IDPA. Nice video BTW…..really good quality camera work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceFlunky Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I can not take credit for it personally it was posted by OilTheGun It helped my not have my front FO bulged out since the last ones were a bit. Not is just in the hole and the back of it is bulged and locked in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fate0n3 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Guys I am glad I listened to you guys, received my sights this morning from Shooters Connection and could not be more happy with them. Def plenty of sight picture through the rear sight. Thank you guys for the advice and good info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of small steel in the 3gun and they work great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlouie87 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Has anyone moved from warren/sevigny sights to these? If so, how do you like it? I would just like a comparison between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzghan Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I moved from sevigny to sevigny rear and dawson front for the brighter fiber optic, to these. Honestly they are all pretty comparable but I prefer these for reasons previously stated. I was using the .100 or was it .110 wide by .245 tall Dawson with the Sevigny rear. This gave a lot of room on either side of the front sight. These are a little tighter but still plenty of light on each side of the front blade. Of all three I find the Warrens to have the dimmest front dot mostly due to the shorter length of exposed fiber optic. I use green inserts and like it as bright as possible. Walnut Creek eh? I was born there…. just don’t tell anybody else I’m originally from Cali….wait….public forum….damn!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer377 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I put these on a Gen4 Glock 17. I love the sight picture compared to the Warrens. The huge notch on the Warrens was fast, but didn't give me as much precision as I wanted on far partials or small steel. I have found the .220 front sight that comes with the TTIs is too short, and the gun groups about 3" high at 20yds with 124s. A .245 should be just right.

67 LS1 Camaro Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 All my Dawson's rear fixed and adjustable are rusting. I've been waiting for someone to come out with stainless . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlouie87 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I already ordered one from Shooters Connection - I needed it for this weekend. Fair enough. I'll just order a .220 or a .235 front this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceFlunky Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) Does anyone know how wide the notch is on the rear sight of the TTIs? Warren/Sevigny makes a "Narrow" competition sight that brings it down to a .130 instead of the normal comp notch that is .150. I am still going back and forth between these two sight sets. I should be ordering them by this weekend, if I can make up my mind. Edited May 16, 2013 by SpaceFlunky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racer377 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Indeed. Having to spend $50 to get the sight dialed in on top of the $85 they cost annoys me. I suppose I can recoup some of it by selling the .220, but still. My single stacks have adjustables. After this, I'm even more convinced adjustable is the only way to roll.

67 LS1 Camaro Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 For now I swear by the Dawson's ( the rusting is my only issue, i see no reason sending it back to have it re-blued, maybe have it metal treated though). I've tried other adjustable sights but didn't like that they glared and not have a crisp sight picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dskinsler83 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 You can have a nomad milled into the rear of a glock slide but I don't think it's production legal but for the rest of divisions it is GTG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midas Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I have the 245 front Sevigney. They shot low on my 34. So I just got the TTI which I belive the front sight is 220. I shoot low but not as much. I might even try the lower Sevigney. But over all I do like the TTI sights. Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
