Are DP sights plastic or steel?

And, anybody have any problems with the Fiber optics breaking or falling out??? Thinking of getting a set put on my xd9 when I send it to Springer Precision...

Also, do they still shoot to POA like the stock sights? I like how the stock sights aim, so It'd be nice if that didn't change....

Metal.

No problems at all and I use my on my carry gun. Trust Scott, these are GREAT SIGHTS!

Are they more precise as far as shot placement goes than the stock sights?? Is there less light on the sides between the front and rear sight edges??

Yep.

It depends on which sights you get. DP offers different with front sights and rear openings. Personally I like a wide rear (flat black) and a narrow front. Your preferences may be different.
