[WARWOLF]

Heres another nice place for adjustable Nightsights. The company is Tooltech Gunsight.

Nice. Thanks for the heads up.

[WARWOLF]

And these are High Quality stick ons by a company named "NiteSiters", for those looking for a quick solution for night time targeting until you save enough money to buy the real thing. But then again, these really aren't too bad!

Nice, I kind of like the 3 dot over the fiber optic one in the other forum that Panzer was doing (where you send in your slide). But would like to see a side by side comparison, how long they last, that sort of thing. Looked like they were losing some of their brightness just during the vid though :ponder:

[Wollychop]

I just ordered a pack of the nightsiters. I'll let you know how they work out.

[Cyberfly]

Hey, Wolly, if they work out good, feel free to send me a set! I understand they send 'extras'!

[Wollychop]

Ill tell you what cyber, if they work out nice I'll send you what I have left over. There are eight in the set (if they send more, woo hoo) and I wanted to try them on my five seven. I've got tritium sights on my other carry gun, so I'll send you three to try out if they're decent.

[Cyberfly]

Cool beans bro.
I'll cross my fingers then!

[bigjon]

They sound great. Please let me know if they are worth the investment. I have a set of trijicons on my IDPA 1911 and I would not go anywhere without them.

That front sight looks 20 to 30% higher then the already hi factory front sight.

[ArtosDracon]

That front sight looks 20 to 30% higher then the already hi factory front sight.

They had to, the rear sight looks almost twice as tall.

[f3rr37]

No thanks then, the factory sights are large enough for me.

[panzermk2]

Thats the thing with the design of the gun itself.

[Wollychop]

got my package today. Pretty easy to install; clean the sights then apply. They are very, very bright initially after charging and then settle down to a state which is pretty much in line with the tritium sights that I have, maybe slightly brighter. They take a while to stick for good, but seem to work fine. I guess the big test will be the first time when I carry with them. Initial impressions are very positive though!

I can't add anything more than the video shows as far as pics, etc, so I wont bother. But it's a pretty good reflection of what you actually see.

I'm not at all disappointed for the price If that changes, I'll let y'all know!

[added] With a very lengthy charge (about an hour, I don't know if it needs to be that long) under a bright lamp, a put the pistol into a dark cabinet last night at about eleven. At ten oclock this morning the sights were still glowing, albeit very dim. I have confidence after this that a charge in the early evening will carry the sights through sunrise as advertised.

[Wollychop]

Hey Cyber, I dropped you a PM w/ my contact info. It seems to be stuck in my outbox. Does that mean you haven't viewed it yet or I've done something wrong? new forum smarter than me, I guess!

[Cyberfly]

Yeah, I got it. It stays in your outbox til I read it.
Just like the PM Artos sent me then withdrew it. It still shows I get one, but...
Anyway, Got and returned one to ya. I'll try to call ya tomorrow. Helping a friend whose building a house tomorrow so it may be later, but I'll try to call. I think I pretty much covered everything in the PM though.

[ArtosDracon]

Yeah, deleted that PM as F3rr37 and I got it about as far as it's going to get. My ISP has fubared the whole process. Can't set up a sever on port 80, and 8080 will not automatically re-direct without the port number in the address so, no posting pictures here from my server. :furious: You'd be shocked at how much they want to charge for a slower connection with one static IP, unblocked ports and a single TLD.

[bigjon]

I just got my nitesites in the mail, any one have any suggestions for a easy install?

:wall:

[Wollychop]

It's pretty easy. I just used the blade to peel them off of the backing, then used the blade and a toothpick to position them. Then I used a flat base to squish them down into the recess. Set under a hot lamp for a while so the adhesive can set. Instructions say it takes up to 72 hours for the adhesive to completely set.

Hope this helps!

[Savior 6]

Wollychop Thanks for the good info. I had thought about these myself considering the price.

[harm152]

Has anyone seen or heard of fiber optic sights for the FN? From what I can tell, there aren't many options in replacement sights for the FN 57. Although, I thought I saw a rumor a while back that FN was actually going to release some nights sights????

[jmz5]

They have been saying that for a few years now.

[jmz5]

Jay at Elite Ammunition offers night sights.

[FNH5-7Owner]

Those are all great, I like seeing everyones Ideas, and everyones creativity. I installed a Nikko Stirling Speed sight, the replaces the rear sight. It is an auto adjusting red dot sight, the dot adjust with darkness. I took it out in the pitch dark, and poof I could see the dot, and it did not blind out the area. I could see what I was aiming at around the dot. I also have a laser-light combo mounted under the front. For pics, go to Page 4 on the, "bolt on" night sights, thread. This is my Perfect Weapon, may not be yours, but I really like it, and will be testing tomorrow. Keep up the great work everyone.

[FNH5-7Owner]

Ok, for the people that did not look at the "Bolt-On" night sights thread, I did the testing, and was stupid, and forgot to tighten the sight back down on the mount, wasted 40 rds. I was in a hurry because it was getting dark soon. once I got it on target I kept everything in the 10 circle and x of a 25 yard comp. target, at 30 yards. It worked great at dusk, as the dark set in, still in the 10 circle. It got dark when I picked up my brass, and before I left I checked the sight with the moon shinning through the tree, and it dimmed down to almost nothing. I have bee asked about making more mounts, and I will, if I can get a few people who want them. Let me know. Thank you everyone.
