My DW collection so far.
I have posted some pics of these in other areas but here are some new ones with them together.









They are still pics I took from my cell phone but there no to bad. A couple might be a little blurry like the last pic.

I would like to find a 10mm for my next DW 1911. Any suggestions?

Finally got around to taking some updated pictures to reflect the changes to my guns. Here's the Valor with a Dawson fiber optic front sight (.180 x .125):

Nice how do you like the Fiber Optic sight instead of a tritium night sight?

I have used fiber optic sights on my older guns before "and liked them" but have come to really like well made night sights.
I just ask because I may (one day soon) put a Fiber Optic front sight on my full size DW Heritage since it's more of a range gun / Target gun.

And did you install it yourself? If so did you use a sight pusher?

Thanks,

-Ryan S

Hey Ryan,

The Valor is my main USPSA and IDPA gun, and I like the FO sight for those purposes. My defensive guns have tritium night sights. For me, the main advantages are quicker front sight focus and transitions to the next target. For more difficult targets that require a deliberate followthrough, I don't think the FO helps much if at all.

Interestingly, I find that I like having the small dot on the Heinie rear sight.

I did install it myself, using the included aluminum punch, and a file. My Valor has a pretty tight taper, and I had to do quite a bit of filing, trying, and filing again.
