It's from http://www.pistolgear.com
It's pretty nice. Definitely a lot easier to find than the factory one. They claim it fixes the "dropping the slide with your thumb after the last round" problem but I don't see it.
It was out about 2.5 weeks at Canyon Creek. I got it back on Friday and won our local tactical pistol match with it on Saturday. Then it got sent out to have the sights changed and I just got it back yesterday. I haven't shot it yet with the new sights but will be tomorrow. I think the tungsten guide rod helps, but I don't think it does $80 worth of help. Oh well, somebody's gotta be the one to try stuff so, live and learn.

Thanks guys.
The gunsmith that changed the sights had the windage dead on. I had to bring the elevation up only 3 clicks and it's good to go. There is no missing those sights outside in the sunlight. Indoors you can see them but they're not so bright you can't see past them. They're great target sights but with the high profile and sharp corners definitely not a CC sight.
Only issue that arose is now I need to modify my holster on my belt. That front sight sits so high that it catches when I draw unless I do it right.

One match, one win so far
I don't expect to win every time. It's nice when I do of course but at least now when I don't finish first I know it's me and not my gun.

From page 1...
Edit: Oh. I see it was you who asked the first time too...
Have you shot it without the tungsten GR? If not, give it a shot (pun intended). My competition XDm was customized by Rich and the tungsten GR makes a significant difference in my transitions and splits over the OEM GR.
That said, qualifying that improvement against an $80 bill is a bit subjective.

Yeah I had shot it before I sent it out but I never did any immediate back-to-back tests. That isn't a bad idea though so maybe I should. I'll try it tomorrow morning.
