Good friend of mine has them on a Gen 4 17. He raves about them.

They're stupid fast. Great for USPSA or IDPA matches.
Not as accurate due to the wider blade top on the rear sights. |

I have 3 sets of them and will not buy anything else from now on. I disagree that they are less accurate. They are much more accurate than the Warren Sevigny sights I used before that have a narrow front sight and wide rear notch. I have shot steel silhouettes out to 150 yards with them, and I have never found the sights to be the limiting factor when trying to make difficult shots. The Y notch also helps when you're shooting fast and furious on close, open targets.

What's the science behind these?

What's the science behind these? Y-shaped rear notch. With the top being wider it's theoretically faster. For more precise aiming you focus on the equal height/equal light of the narrower low section of the Y. |

So ive been looking at these, and wondering where does the fiber optic of the front sight end up? Does is sit in the notch of the "Y" or does it sit in the lower square portion? I think I would find myself pushing the FO down into the square notch and pulling shots low. |

It uses traditional sight alignment so you align the tops of the front FO and the tops of the rear.
You do not push it down into the notch. |

Thanks, I'll probably pick up a set soon to try out.

Is it floating in the Y portion? Cant find these anywhere local to see in person, and having a hard time visualizing the setup. |

This looks correct, as the top blade is aligned with equal spacing on left and right:

Everybody has good reviews of them, I think ill end up grabbing a set to try out on a new G22 I just picked up. |

But what I still can't figure out is WHY (see what I did there?) These sights are supposedly so much faster than more traditional sights. How does having those little corners cut off increase the speed? |
