Has any one tried the Williams gun sight, sights? The company has been around a long time and it's made in michigan.they are fiber optic only. They look nice just want some feedback.

Unfortunatly , I think you get what you pay for . I tried a set on my XD9 , and the first round i used them in , The front tube fell out , and one of the rears too . Im looking to get truglo's now .

Thats what I was worried about. If I change my sights I want them to be perfect. I guess I'll plan on the trijicons.

I use them on my IDPA guns. I have about 4000 rounds thru my 9 with no issues. I did break the front sight in my 45, but i was shooting under a barricade, and hit it on recoil. Williams sent me a free piece of tube, and it took about 2 minutes to replace. No problem since. Wish I had put them on my subcompact.

I have them on my 40 service and have had no issues, they collect a lot of light, much brighter than my TFO's during the day, but once you get to that time at dusk where fiber optics lose the ambient light, the TFO's become brighter. for day sights i think they are great, my tubes havent fallen out either

I have them on my Buckmark. I have been happy with them the few times I have shot the gun. They seem to be good quality.

I have a front sight on my service .40. I used mine for a couple of years with no big problems. I like the Hi-Viz on my tac 9mm better.

I have used them for the past 2 years with no issues,and I do carry daily.They sure are nice for us over 50 crowd...

Nothing is perfect. The front sight in my XD9SC TFOs went out after about 2 years. Truglo replaced it for free under warranty, but......if it gets used, it may break.
