I'm just curious, what is it about night sights that you don't like? If it's the size of the dot, you might look at XS Sights which is what I use. I'm sure you've been around them, Coal. Now that I think on it, I don't have any night sights on my .22s.

Interesting. I took night sights off a Glock 48 and replaced them with Truglo TFX pro tritium and fiber optics with an orange outline front. I put the Glock night rear on a new Taurus GX4 and a Taurus Truglo on the front. Sights seem bright to me. Could be you got a faulty set.

They were dull for the day light. If the dots were brighter white. I would have left them alone. They are Mepro brand.
I no longer mess with night sights. I have/had several older guns with dead night sights. I liked them well enough when they were new, but it can get expensive replacing them every 7-8 years. Especially if you have 6-8 guns with them. I had my gun smith remove some dead night sights and put factory sights back on them. He has a box full of them, he gave me the sights and only charged me $20 to install them.
In any light at all I can see the big white dot better than night sights. The night sights were only an advantage in near full darkness. And I've started using a light mounted on the pistols for that.

You may want to add a little loctite also just to be sure your sight won't go flying off while shooting, the front sight especially.
