What do you think of the Warren tactical after shooting with it? Do you still have the factory front sight as well?
I have a fiber optic front sight, but the warren would probably work very well with the factory front or a tritium front at stock dimensions. With the U-notch, you basically either get a nice clean sight picture with the sharp points of the u lined up with the sharp points of the front, or you go for a faster sight picture and basically center the front dot in the U like a ghost ring sight. The stock front dot should be a good fit for that.
As for the sight, I've always been a fan of pyramid/truncated corner sights, and it fits the bill there. When getting a fast sight picture that I don't get spot on, I tend to have two modes... straighten it ou, or try to peek around. pyramid sights help me avoid the peek around the sight syndrome. The corners are all radiused funky so that the only sharp corners are at the top of the U.
It also does not tear up your arm/clothes while wearing it in a holster.
The canted back at an angle setup is the right thing. The canted forward sights catch WAY too much light on the surface and are almost as distracting as factory. Once you bang them around and expose any unfinished metal, they are REALLY distracting. The rearward cant really helps here.
As for the flat finish? I dunno. It's definitely not distracting. I don't dislike it. It's just hard to say if it is a notable positive feature.
