    I did. My Springfield 1911's imitation-Novak rear sight was replaced with a 10-8 U-notch, .140" width of notch, back in April of this year.

    Love it, especially with just a tritium-dot front sight. Much easier to make fast hits. (not that I'm all that fast to begin with)

    For me the .140 10-8 is the best blend of speed and precision.
    Only hits count......you can not miss fast enough to catch up

    I've been searching/waiting for someone to come out with a fixed version replacement for a Kimber (Series 1) Adjustable Target (Bo-Mar) rear sight. All I see is Heinie Slant Pro or Straight Eights on the market to fill this need. Would love to have a u-notch option.

    I was running the 10-8 NM rear on my Colt Officer's. It is excellent. Just recently I got a set of the Warren Tacs for my G26. I am really, really impressed. The sights are fast and really no detriment to accurate shooting.

    I think the standard 10-8 is too narrow and dont care for it too much. The only reason I havent switched it out yet is because I dont shoot the 1911 it sits on too often. I greatly prefer the Warren setup (even if it isnt a true U notch) over the narrow 10-8.

    I really like the 10-8 rear with the .125" notch and have been thinking about trying one with a .140" notch to pick up speed but I wonder if the .140" may be a little too wide.
    They're already out. I've got one of the rears on my TRP. Check with MLE shooting sports.

    I picked up a .140 from Dave Berryhill a few years ago when I was still trying to make Big Dot sights work for me. I dont know if he still has any.

    Got a new Glock 17 that's going to be my primary focus for the coming year - forgot how much the stock sights suck.

    Definitely going .140 10-8 rear, but can anyone weigh in on brass-bead vs. tritium front? It's a range and class gun, maybe IDPA/IPSC in the latter half of the year. Mostly just a personal preference thing or would you recommend one over the other?

    I also like the Warren Tactical rears but haven't seen them in person - do you find that the lack of serration matters at all (compared to a 10-8)?

    I prefer the non-serrated rear
