gmshtr Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Eric, I'm going to post a picture of my new fixed sight that Scott Warren made for my Bo-mar cut slide. I GUARANTEE that you can't break this one. I went to Scott after breaking a few adjustable sights...both Bo-mar and STI. Scott's sight (a different version) can be found on the Langdon series Sig, and Dave Sevigny's glock. I'm going to take that picture tonight.

diehli Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I'm going to take that picture tonight. We've heard that one before, Phil.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmshtr Posted February 2, 2005 Author Share Posted February 2, 2005 (edited) OK, I took the pictures, and put them on my forum, but I'm going to try and post it here....hmmm....let's see how this goes. Crap...oh well it didn't work. I got "Sorry, dynamic pages in the tags are not allowed." Whatever that means. Anyone interested can see pictures here I wish I could figure out how to get the picture to show on the screen. I'm such a retard!

ErikW Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Phil, you don't have to ride the short bus. This forum software just won't let you use dynamic pages for images. Unfortunately, your forum software won't let us view the posted pictures unless we register as forum members. Maybe you should send the pictures to ShooterGrrl and she can host them.

tightloop Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Well Phil, no offense, but that is one butt ugly sight...no doubt strong as anything, but ugly too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmshtr Posted February 2, 2005 Author Share Posted February 2, 2005 None taken. At least the gun is pretty...like me. Damn! I'm SOOOO pretty. BTW, thanks for the assist Kyle! You computer people...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.40AET Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Phil- How do the rest of us get one. If the screw backs out of my BoMar again, I'm going to skip it across the parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmshtr Posted February 2, 2005 Author Share Posted February 2, 2005 Scott Warren (sight designer) is in the process of starting a website. The best way right now is to email him at symtac@aol.com. Since most of our 1911/2011's come with Bo-mar's, he just asks that you have it sighted in, and he takes your slide, and BAM, he throws that bad boy on there. He uses a slightly rounded notch that takes some getting used to, but it's no big deal. He can make it custom just for your taste and preference. His sight was originally designed for standard dovetail fixed rears...like this one: http://www.sigarms.com/products/classicful...?product_id=200 Make sure that you're very happy with your load/ammo. If you change it, you run the risk of changing the Point of Impact. Mine isn't as sensitive, though. It's pretty much dead on with everything I put through it.

.40AET Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Thanks Phil. If my elevation screw strips out of the slide again, I'm sending it out for a new sight. Maybe it will be prettier in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Nice, but does he have a version with a more traditional blade? That is, not cut out at the corners? Is its blade face plain or serrated? Ugliness can only be judged from behind the gun looking through the sights. A nice sight picture is not ugly. Black is beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kline Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Hey Phil, what's up? I see you schmoozed your way to a Warren rear sight. A lot of people have been trying to get them and wanted to know where. This is the same Scott Warren that is HRT/FBI instructor and has shot IDPA and IPSC, right? Heard very good things about him. Heard great things about his sight. Is the rear blade serrated or plain? You going to Florida Open? If so, I'll see you there, if you're shooting on Friday, or possibly Sunday, depending on how I fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 www.shootersparadise.com I registered. My alias used over there is actually my first name (Douglas). There is even an "Ask Phil" section on Phil's forum. Good stuff! D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Di Vita Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 I checked the sight out at the Tri state this past year. When I go back to iron sights, you can bet I'll have these on my fire stick, they are sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmshtr Posted February 4, 2005 Author Share Posted February 4, 2005 He can make the sight to whatever specs you like. I'm pretty sure Dave's sight is a square notch. He can make it serrated, smooth, narrow wide....it's really up to you. The reason my rear is smooth and rounded is because it helps the front sight be more pronounced. It really jumps out at you. Your first instinct is to shoot a bit high, but it only takes a couple of sessions to get used to it. Next IPSC Standard gun I get built (2007, maybe) will come with fixed sights. Then I'll have Scott throw a set of his on there to spec. Granted...his bomar-cut one isn't much to look at, but just try to break it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmshtr Posted February 5, 2005 Author Share Posted February 5, 2005 My wife and I just pissed our pants laughing at that one! That's got to be the funniest thing I've ever read. I didn't even pick that up! The more I read it, the funnier it gets. Holy crap! I'll try to be more careful next time. My next post could be about accidental discharges!

Flexmoney Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I just made Jenny read this (and she hates when I make her read stuff). She has been laughing for a solid 7-8 minutes straight...wiping tears from her eyes. Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
