I know it's been asked a lot in the past... but need help in choosing replacement Novak sights for my Tactical.

I have trouble using the standard black sights that came with the gun.

But right now I'm torn... don't know if I want to get Fiber Optic replacements (red rear, green front) or a set of Tritium nights.

I know the decision is ultimately up to me... but still interested in hearing what others think of either system.

Also... how do I know what front sight I should get as far as height is concerned? .175/.180/.190?

Measure your front sight with a dial caliper or something. I personally use a Dawson .090 fiber optic front. Not really a fan of fiber in the rear. It's just a preference. I think so much of this is placebo anyway.
If your going to run NS again I prefer front sight only. That's just me.

Front sight: tritium with a white ring around the vial.
Rear sight: two plain white dots, wide slot.

Send the slide to Novak and they'll install them for you. Oh, first, make sure the pistol shoots at point of aim first. If not give the details to Novak, so they can calculate the proper sights for you.
