anyone got any thoughts on what kind of sights to put on a mkIII Browning hi power it will be used for a target gun
 
I put Hi Viz sights on my Mark III. They really pick up the range lights and glow.

It was a major pain installing them though. I bought a sight pusher tool, but it wouldn't hold the slide firmly enough to prevent it from twisting as I pushed the sights. I did finally get the stocks sights out after a lot of work, but I slightly marred the gun's finish in the process, and wish I had just paid a gunsmith to do it.

The Hi Viz sights fit a bit too loosely on the dovetail cutouts, but I was able to shim them tightly in place with a piece of brass that I cut (using tin snips) from a spent cartridge case, hammered flat, and then placed underneath the sights before I pushed them on.
