If anyone has experience with both please chime in on what you prefer and why. Currently looking for sights for an M&P, might go 2-dot might not. Supposedly the heinie sights have a smaller rear sight notch that makes it slower to get lined up.

I have both Heinie Straight-8 ledge sights and Warren Tactical 2-dot sights on my Glocks. In the dark they both look the same except the Warrens have a yellow rear with green front. In the light the Warrens are easier as the front sight has a large white outline around the dot. However, I do appreciate the serrations on the front and rear sights of the Heinies. The Warrens are a bit cheaper and shipped right away. The Heinies cost about $15 more and took 3 weeks to arrive as they were out of stock at the time.
The rear sight notch on my Heinies is the same width as my Warrens, the front blade on my Heinies is a teeny bit thinner. I don't have a real preference for one over the other.

I prefer the Warrens. I use the plain black rear with the green tritium front. The Heinie sights are not bad either I just didn't see any reason to switch.

I don't favor one over the other. However I do prefer one or the other. These are the only sights use on my G19's and M&P9's. The 3 dot sights are to busy for my 50yr old eyes. I also prefer the wider rear sight notch's available from either maker.
I have them both. I prefer the U notch on the Warren rear sight. I have the Qwick sights on my HK45C and to me the Heinies appear to be higher quality. I wish I could have the Heinie front with a white ring, serrated in combination with the Warren rear without the rear dot. All done in Heinie quality.

I have used both and I prefer the Heinie "Ledge" (.140).
Have both prefer Warren.
imo, intuitively and instinctly creates an natural apex for sight picture while allowing for better background vision/target-threat assessemnt.
The Warren's are working quite well for me...
I'm quite satisfied with the Warren's I chose for my G34-the black-on-black Tacticals, with the rear face of the front sight painted with Testor's Neon Green (with white Liquid Paper being used as a base coat) for a very fast front sight acquisition.
Best, Jon
