broken meprolight sight --follow up

[GLOCK30JOHN]

I recently postes a question about meprolight(kimber) customer service and their warranty policy. I had a broken screw issue while installing a front sight on my G30. You guys suggested a call to the warranty dept.You guys wanted me to post my findings.I called them on friday , customer service was very friendly and the guy didn't ask any questions."just send it back to me in a padded envelope and I'll get a replacement right out to you. Now that is customer service.No questions, no problems. only spoke with 2 people no running around. i will be buying from them again in the near future.

One more question from you guys, do most of you use same color for front and rear or different colors and what are the advantages ,disadvantages. THANKS to all of you for your replies and help.

I had a feeling they'd take good care of ya!

Personally, I normally only use the front sight with the regular Glock rear sight. I like the sight picture that Glock sights give and I'm not a great fan of three dot sights. Consequently, I don't recall ever trying them with different colors.....

I've come to like the same sight picture as Butch -- factory (steel) white-outline rear with white-outline tritium dot in front (I like Mepros) -- but my conversion was pretty recent, so I have a number of Glocks with conventional three-dot night sights. I find that green rear dots (the fronts are nearly always green) tend to appear brighter than the front (they are closer to the eye) and I don't like that. I think the front sight should be more noticeable. I have a couple of Glocks with orange rears; these are not only a different color than the front (green) sight, they also appear dimmer than the front, making the front sight stand out.
