WARNING ABOUT SPRINGFIELD OEM NIGHT SIGHTS!!!
I have a one month old XDm9c 3.8" bitone with "Factory Night Sights". I've had troubles with my groups with this gun and I finally figured out why. I'm losing my sight picture in the indoor light at the range. Why? These alleged Trijicon Tritium Night Sights are BOGUS!!! Why? Because Trijicon didn't make them. But they have the Trijicon name! Yes, they do and that's because the tubes are made by Trijicon but the Sight Assemblies are provided by Springfield, not Trijicon - even though they have the Trijicon markings and emblems which are supposed to verify that you have genuine Trijicon sights.
OK, so what's the difference? Real Trijicons have white ring tubes which surround the tritium tube so you can actually see the sight when it's too bright for the tritium to glow, which is most of the time. These BOGUS Springfield FAKES do NOT!
I'm going to be contacting Springfield to see if they are willing to make good on their FALSE ADVERTISING claims. The dealer I bought the gun from has offered to help me get a set of real Trijicons on my XDm9c should Springfield renege and choose to take my money and run. I really hope they don't do that, though the are the company that advertises being the oldest American gun manufacturer but hasn't made a gun in the USA in decades.
I don't like getting ripped off. I hope this post can help others from getting ripped off, too. But remember this...
DON'T BUY FACTORY INSTALLED NIGHT SIGHTS FROM SPRINGFIELD - THEY'RE FAKES AND ARE WORTHLESS IMITATIONS.
