Heinie's older sights (pre Slant Pro), offered a simular sight picture, but the rear sight was not slanted like the newer version and didn't give as large of a sight picture as the newer Slant Pro's.
Are you possibly comparing the older Heinie's to the newer Slant Pro / Straight 8's?

Yes sir, that's why I said "newer" in my post. The Straight 8's I had had a rear sight that was friggen HUGE, at least it seemed that way to me. The newer design doesn't seem that way to me. I apologize if I didn't make that more clear.
They had no right to win. Yet they did, and in doing so they changed the course of a war...even against the greatest of odds, there is something in the human spirit - a magic blend of skill, faith and valor - that can lift men from certain defeat to incredible victory.
