i see that this site http://www.germanguns.de/export/guns/p99/partsp99/p99parts.htm sells METAL p99 sight sets, but i was wondering if one could ONLY purchase the front sight?
METAL front site?

I got the metal set from Earl's Repair Service.
The rear sight wouldn't slide into the dovetail on my P99, looked like it would have to be shaved off some on the botton flat. The rear did'nt look to be windage adjustable either. Instead of the "U" white outline the metal rear sight was two dot.
The front was a #4 and had a screw base instead of the little allen head socket.
Diecided to leave the plastics in place!
Unless they are real cheap I'd stick with the stock sights unless something happens. They are a set so I doubt you could get just the front ...but maybe someone here knows different.

There are many sights for the P99
the ones that come with the P99
the Euro style rear sight
the target style rear sight
night sights (not sure what brand they are for factory night sights.. drift adjustable only)
the red fiberoptic ones
the steel sights (which are only drift adjustable too)
and then I was shown some "glow in the dark" luminous sights while I was there... never seen them on the P99 before
some of them are listed here

I think it is hard to just find the front sight alone.....
I would go with sights from Earl as I have read over on the P38 Forum that Claus (germanguns) as of late has not had the best service and some of his stuff gets held up at customs.....I know members here have bought from him over ebay without a problem.... I just wanted to point it out

For about $70 you can get the mepro night sights.
I don't know how good Earl's sights are but some swear by them.

Don't buy from that site! They have been under investigation by the BATF. I bought a threaded barrel from them, and a year after I got it the ATF was at my door. Apparently they were selling firearms etc and didn't go through proper import. That said the ATF tried to tell me my threaded barrel was illegal, but all they had on me is not paying a import tax.
