[QUOTE="HJB, post: 3446192, member: 45695"] The problem I mostly had with them is that it is hard for me to pick up the top of the front sight and align it with the top of the rear sight. So, I painted a horizontal white stripe above the dot at the top of the front sight, and painted horizontal white stripes at the top of the rear sight. Now I look for the straight horizontal line across both sights for aiming. I guess I could black out the white goal posts too but I really don't even notice it now that I am focused on that white horizontal line. Without that I found I was kind of trying to get the top of the ball to align with the top of the goal posts and that was actually causing me to aim higher than I really wanted. I now find that when I have a proper sight picture with the top of the sights, the bottom of the white ball is actually touching the bottom of the goal posts, or actually even embedded slightly below them I don't have a problem with them being plastic sights, but really a crappy sight design if you ask me. But my son-in-law saw what I did with mine and now wants me to paint both his Glock 44 and his Glock 22 which have Glock sights on them. He has a red dot sight on his Glock 17 but he's not crazy about it either. [/QUOTE]
