I just received the rear "24-7" sight for my .40 Walther. Boy, service was fast ordering from
www.Xssights.com ......it only took 4 days from order to arrival!
I have got to say these sights are great. I didn't realize how much difference having the rear sight outlined in white, would make. If your eyes are getting older, like mine, that white outline makes a fast target aquisition...even faster !
The rear sight tritium looks very bright.......maybe a bit brighter than the front Big dot that is 4 years old. I might decide to get a newer front sight
?
Installation was stupid simple........ Just push down the retaining rod and slide off the rear sight to the right ( ejection port side ) Being careful not to let the retaining rod spring away from the slide ( it is spring loaded ) Remove the adjusting screw from the old or stock rear sight by turning it clockwise ( it has lefthanded threads ). Put this screw in the new rear sight ( I screwed it flush with the rear sight side). Then pushing the retaining rod down....slide the new rear sight into the dovetail slot and let it lock (snap) onto the rod.
And you are done....except for adjusting it at the range. Using the grooves cut into the slide, you can center the rear sight pretty close.
It took about 3 minutes to make the change.......but I had done it once before.
I still say you can not find a better combat sight for this Walther. But I guess personal preference has something to do with it so YMMV.
