cheers623 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Hey all, I have an STI I recently picked up with STI/Bomar style night sights. I am going to replace them with black Bomar style rear and F.O. front like on my other Limited gun. My question is which replacement sight to get. I know Dawson, STI, SV, Caspian, Wilson, and Champion all make this style but which is the best made and versatile. Personal opinions welcome!!!! I like the idea of the Wilsons that BE sells here because of the replaceable rear blades alot but don't see much about them on this forum. I also like the looks of the SV sights but I can't find where SV sells them on their website. Anyway, I look forward to hearing form you all and thanks in advance!!! cheers623 DVC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSMITH Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Wilson is the way I would go, but I haven't seen the new SV sight yet. The Wilson is head and shoulders better than the others, it is even better than the original Bo-Mar by a lot. If I would have known that I wouldn't have bought a bunch of Bo-Mar sights when they started getting hard to find just have on hand..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I have the Caspian adjustable on my Ltd. gun. It has held up great, and has changable blades, too. I like it alot. I also have the STI on my Trojan .45. After a couple thousand rounds, the elevation pivot pin broke in half and started walking out. A call to STI had several replacements on their way for free, but was annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Wilson. No breakage like the STI that came on the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullzeye Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 +2 on Wilson. Solid Bar stock. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheers623 Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 Thanks guys!!! That is what I was hoping to hear. The Wilson looks like a great part and I have been using a lot of their stuff for many years, sears, pins, slide stops, thumb safeties, etc. Everything I have used thus far has been top quality so I was hoping to hear the same thing about this sight. Now I have and will get one from Brian's store! Again, thanks for the feedback and Happy Holidays, cheers623 DVC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
