    Does any one have a lead for replacement fiber optic front sights.
    Getting old and it is a problem picking up the black front sights quickly.
    Do not want to go RED Dot on handguns.
    I am waiting fot "HIVIZ" to respond.
    I have gone through the racks at Bass Pro. most are for shotguns.
    I do not want to replace front and rear sight.

    My first set of fiber optics were on the XDS and I was sold. I've got a pair of 10-8 fiber optics on my stock G17 and absolutely love them. Moreso than Trijicon HDs or any other night sights. I thought I was a Heinie guy for the longest time until I gave the 10-8s a whirl.

    Another vote for Dawson Precision, but yes, it would help to know what handgun you have in mind. Along your lines, I replaced just the front factory sight on my Walther PPQ with a Dawson FO front sight, and couldn't be happier with the results. Plus, if you're careful about your replacement sight(s), you can do so without changing your POA/POI over the factory setup.

    FWIW, I think the Dawson sights are very fairly priced vs. Hi-Viz or other FO options I was considering.

    Those are truglo TFO's. They released a new TFX line which is a nice improvement and evolution of the line that uses a better design and method to insert the fiber optic and tritium as one piece vs how they were doing it.
    I love the TFO have them on a couple handguns and they are bright in the sun and light up good in the dark
