Ameriglo U-notch sights

[Capt. Ct.]

I am thinking of having a set of Ameriglo night sights put on my 9mm Shield. I would want the standard three dot style. I am just debating if I want the U-notch or not. So does anyone have any experience with the U-notch? What do you think of them? Thanks.

My preferred rear sight notch is a U-notch, specifically the one made by 10-8 Performance. I find it helps speed up aligning the sights when you have a dot on the front blade.

However, I don't think they offer it with dots on the rear blade. Dots on the rear blade tend to slow down aligning the front and rear sights on a target

I have the Ameriglo I-Dot on my Shield with the old-style U-notch. This is still available by request from them. I like it a great deal- only regret is that they came out with the I-Dot Pro for the Shield about a week after I put the original I-Dots on. >.<

I have the Ameriglo U-notch rear and a pro dot on the front. Very easy for my old eyes to pick up. I went orange front. The U-notch will also allow a much better sight picture at distance than say Big Dot sights. That big orange ball fits very nicely into the rear sight.
