night sites

[Bentonville]

In my experience, the Meps are easier to see in daylight as well as night compared to Trijicons. I haven't tried the Heinie sights. This experience obviously is dependent on my eyesight (slight cataracts and astigmatism).

Heine Straight 8s are the ticket!! Very easy to get front sight on target FAST! Yea, they are something else to install. Took me 1/2 hour to do mine. A little hand fitting on the front & rear sights. Had to trim down the set screws. Drift in & out ONLY, the sight pusher can't get a grip on the slide. All in all, an easy thing to do.

I found I shoot them better than my factory sights.

Totally agree with that post there my friend.

Its all good my friend. No apology needed! Travis is a great guy, and I'm sure he meant what you said about Mepro giving HK a better deal, but that's not to say that Mepros are cheap, or poorly-made, low-quality night-sights. . . and I was concerned that a newcomer on here would right away assume he had to change-out his OEM Meprolight TruDots for something else because threads on here said they are low-quality (which they are not).

You seem to be a really good guy, and I want to tell you that I very much appreciate your conciliatory attitude. It's a good thing when we can discuss, and even disagree, on a puiblic forum without insult and hostility. Thanks!

Hi Orfeo, I totally agree with you, and I think I should have done a better job explaining what I meant. My statement was misleading. Mepros are terrific sights and are certainly extremely well made. I am hoping some day I will have a few more HK's for me to try out the Mepro's and Heinie sights!! I have learned so much from this great forum from all of the members and am only looking to help, not the other way around. I also know that I do NOT know much compared to most people on this forum, so I really enjoy the back and forth & knowledge exchange. I'm not going to waste my time, your time, or anyone else's time getting hostile or aggro. Thanks again for your posts!

I do have an affinity for my Meps. They've worked well in all my HK's. I also do like Heinies as well.

I too like my Mepros but have considered Heinie sights… Not yet sold on the straight eights.
