Hey chris...

Of all pistols, HK's are the worst. First of all, there are a number of different sites on each model (especially the P7), so buying something aftermarket can be a real challenge. Then, you need a very expensive special tool to remove and replace them. If you don't use the tool, you run the risk of damaging the slide. If you have an HK pistol, send it to an HK smith. Let them site it in a machine rest- especially if they're non-adjustables.

Have you shot an M&P at all? I shot a friends .40 M&P a few weeks ago at the range.

How'd you like it?

That's what I have, and love it. Got rid of a Sig 229 stainless elite because I was never shooting it and only the M&P.

AMEN! I still am having a hard time getting used to the flat black on black USP sights. The sights on my P7 look exactly the same as Trijicons w/ out the glow. Gotta love the P7 for all around natural feel and shooting, its like playing duck hunt on the original Nintendo.

The first front blade sight on my HK fell off the second or third time I shot it. I was shooting at the range and kept moving my shots to the right and it was gone. I found it and shipped the slide back to HK service under warranty and they reinstalled it with a small amount of some kind of glue. Very good service, took about two weeks. There is a sight press tool available for HK sights. It runs about $90. The Trijicon night sight only cost $40.
