Milspec Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) For those that have installed these how do you determine your elevation setting for the front sight post? Also, Meprolight or Benelli brand? Are they the same just different p[packaging? Does the Benelli version use Trijicon lamps? Which one is better and why?

StrangerDanger Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 There is no simple elevation adjustment in the front sight post. The nut is meant to be tightened until it threads to the base of the front sight post. You can shift the front post side to side slightly when tightening it to the tower. I’ve never handled the factory night sights to see if they’re the same as the Meprolights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milspec Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 Thank you sir. I would imaging you want to center the sight post the best you can before it's snugged. It seems like that takes the guess work out of the front sight and I would assume the rear is all windage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I insert two of the same size dental picks on the side of the front post. They’re thin enough up by the handle to take up the gap between the post and the hood while I snug up the nut. This helps keep the post from twisting and pivoting to one side. Then as you mentioned, adjust the rear sight to dial in the sights. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milspec Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 Just found these. They look awesome. I wish they had a rear sight offering. These are like Trijicon HD's. https://www.xssights.com/Products.aspx?CAT=13438 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will wish someone had experience with the Benelli brand night sights. You would think some people would since they were apparently sold out. LOL I wonder where all those people are at!?

StrangerDanger Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I have a set of those big dots on a Glock 36. They're fast for target aquisition, but terrible for accuracy. The dot obstructs the target and their front sight post is a lot fatter than a traditional one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
