spook Posted August 9, 2001 Share Posted August 9, 2001 Hi guys, I was wondering about the glock specific bo-mar sights. I know bo-mar has the name, but these sights look a little weird. They're sticking out of the back of the gun about .5". Does anyone have experience or has anyone seen a couple of these sights installed on any glock? I would think it makes the sight a little vulnerable sticking out like that. On the other hand it offers an extended sight radius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bird Posted August 9, 2001 Share Posted August 9, 2001 I shot a friends Glock with the exact sight set-up that you are describing and I loved them, It was really easy to aquire a fast sight picture. I don't personally care for Glocks but I really liked the sights. (Edited by bird at 4:34 pm on Aug. 9, 2001) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H Posted August 14, 2001 Share Posted August 14, 2001 Have you checked out EGW's buried Bomar setup? It is the cleanest I have seen.See it at http://www.geocities.com/davidwiz_2000/egw.html Bill Hearne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugs Bunny Posted August 19, 2001 Share Posted August 19, 2001 Have them on a Glock 34 and have come to like them a lot especially for longer/precision shots in IDPA, etc. The overhang was easy to get used to. Brownells no longer stocks them {for Glocks} and Bo-Mar informed me that they were discontinued although the still had a few pairs left for sale. That said, considering they cost ca. double the Heinie "copy", would probably go with Heinie's if done over again assuming their adj. is not of heavy concern.

Chris Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 Does anyone know if the super slick EGW Bomar is USPSA production legal? The rule book says you can replace the sights, but doesn't say anything about milling the slide to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singlestack Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 Chris, I've been wondering the same thing. I've been wanting to do the EGW thing to my 35 and have front cocking serrations added then hard chrome the slide. I'm guessing at this point that the answer is no (at least for the front cocking serrations) as the rule states "no external modifications other than sights allowed". Looks like I'm gonna have to bug John Amidon again unless one of you guys already has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 Singlestack, I just sent Amidon an email asking about that. As soon as I hear back I'll post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singlestack Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 I hope you asked about front cocking serrations and hard chrome too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 Actually I didn't... I'll leave that one up to you Here is the reply from John Amidon: Chris, As long as the sight remains a square notch and post type, changing sights is allowed, the process in how you change them, is not an issue. This would be Ok. John So if you want Bomars, ship that top end to EGW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted September 4, 2001 Share Posted September 4, 2001 Singlestack, I am pretty sure the front serration would not be allowed in production. ---------- Chris, Did you send John Amidon the link so that he could see the finished product. Is he aware of the milling involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted September 4, 2001 Share Posted September 4, 2001 Yep, I sent him the link and all that. He said the process involved doesn't matter, just as long as the sights are notch and post. Would skate tape be allowed on the slide and grips? This production thing is getting tricky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted September 4, 2001 Share Posted September 4, 2001 Skate tape is fine. It is all covered in the "red book". USPSA 14th Edition Rule Book. Page 92. Probably on the USPSA website too.

Peter K Posted September 21, 2001 Share Posted September 21, 2001 Does the G35 with the bo-mar bmgl fit in the IPSC-Stock-box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Thompson Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 Since cocking serrations have absolutely nothing to do with the operation of the gun I would be supprised if they were not allowed as a modification(if you want to call it that) especially since they're allowed when they're factory standard.

Flexmoney Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 I think the Production class is all about getting people in at the entry level. No extra equipment needed to compete. New shooters don't need to see somebody with a slicked out gun beating them in Production. (I think it is a visual thing.) I know I don't want to hear someone say they could have won their division but so-and-so did this-and-that to their gun...I guess you gotta spend $xxx to win at this game. Just my opinion. The rule states "no external modifications other than sights". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singlestack Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 I e-mailed John Amidon and asked about cocking serations. Me: I have a Glock 35 that I shoot in production. I am going to have a gunsmith install a "melt" Bomar BMGL sight and since the slide will need to be refinished can I have front cocking serration's added and have it hard chromed? John Amidon: You can replace the sight, have the finish done to the slide as a result of the sight being replaced, but adding the serration's would fall into an external modification other than sights, and would not be allowed.

Flexmoney Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 PeterK, You asked if the bomar's would fit the IPSC box. Here is an unoffical response that I got from another forum: I checked my 35, installed with the BoMar "drop-in" sights, a custom made fiber optic front (that fits the need for extra height with the drop-in BoMars) and a T.H.E. brass mag well, dropping it into an IPSC box (225mm X 150mm X 45mm). It isn't the extra length that is an issue, it's the 150mm measurement that is close, at least with mine. My gun clears the box by 5-6mm in the 150mm dimension and more than 15mm in the 225 dimension. It's going to be the magwell that may cause problems more than the sight, in my opinion. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
