Sweet!

Me too. This is my first set of Trijicon HDs. They have a luminescent paint on the front sight circling a tritium vial. The large dot sits nicely in the rear sight cutout for daylight shooting. They are worth a look if you haven't tried them. It's all about the front sight right? This one says, "BAM" i'm right here. I tried the XS Big Dots in the past for the same reason but didn't like the fact that the point of IMPACT was covered by the front dot because it was so large. These should allow me to use a six o'clock hold like with my standard Trijicon sights that are on the rest of my carry pistols.

As have I.

I must now replace a set of Heinie Straight Eight Slant Pros on a G32. Just too dim after 16 years.

Also have a set of 24 / 7 Big dot on a G23. Same deal. Rear is done. front is too dim.

Luckily, my 3 year old G19 Heinies are good to go. At least for a few more.

The factory Trijicons on my Kahr P9 Covert (13 years) are in very good shape after time gone.

Back to the OP.
I bought a new spinning reel, fishing vest, and some fishing incidentals along with a lifetime fishing license.
