Not sure where to post this, so mods if out of my lane, please move this post.
For the past 8 years or so, I've been shooting my P226 with adjustable night sights from MMC. Reasoning behind the adjustable sights was simple: I tend to switch ammo brands on a regular basis. Perhaps 'cause I live close to the Dutch border, but for training I look for good-value-for-money ammo, so I've been switching between S&B, Fiochi, Leader, Limit (factory reloads), ... with bulletweights ranging between 115gr & 124gr. Ammo doesn't come cheap, so I look for good (bargain) deals which still make my pistol function in a safe, reliable way.
Why the nightsights: seemed like a cool idea back then, but have to admit that I don't regret the decision.
Recently the rearsight has become "wobbly", i.e. under recoil it sorta flips up or down. The quick fix was Loctite, but I'm looking for a more permanent solution and since MMC seems to no longer exist .... why not shop around and see what's out there.
Usage of the pistol: recreational shooting in the form of IPSC/IDPA like matches and practical shooting with some likeminded rangebuddies - "social" use & CCW are not allowed here & using it when a "o fxxk what was that noise" at o' dark 30 is not received very well by our government. The perp needs to come at you with some pretty heavy artillery to get cleared in court. A castle law like in Florida will never occur overhere in Lalaland.
So I've been browsing the world wide web and came across names like Mepro, Warren, Dawson, XS, LPA, ....
One big prerequisite is that I need to be able to swap the sights myself with no gunsmithing in the form of milling of part of the slide. They need to be sortoff "drop in" in that makes sense.
So I'd like to hear your opinions on why to go with brand A, B, C or why not.
