So here are my new green/yellow TFOs from Gilberts Guns...I love em so far and can't wait to take them to the range. They look great in the dark too...

They look great, my next set will be yellow/green.

yep, Gilbert Guns did install them. There's a few marks on the front where they pushed the slide in, but I kinda expected that after all the stories I heard about how hard it is to remove that sight. And besides, it'll get more wear when I start carrying it.

How does the brightness of the yellow sights hold up over time?

Which, to those who have green/yellow and green/green sets, set do you like most?

Also, how much did they charge you for installing the sights?

I also just got my bitone slide back from Gilbert's from having TFOs installed. Fast turnaround, good pricing, and great work. Thanks Jason!

What?!?! Marks? I don't expect any marks on my slide if I send it and pay someone to install my sights.... Kinda concerned now.

I agree, my slide doesn't show ANYTHING after I had my sights installed at PRP. My dawson adjustables look like they came from the factory.

I am not sure where there would be any marks or scratches on that one side if they followed what HS arms put out.

Just ordered mine from gilberts. Thanks for the great pics. I've been using straight eights but want to try a set of TFO on my 9mmsc.

I have been looking for the yellow green combo. ALOT of places either do not carry it or out of stock. Got them on order for my XDs. Now to find a shop for the install.
