Thinking about sending in my slide to be cut for a different front site. Basically a tritium front and leave the stock rears.

I saw Novak and C&S on here. Which is best? And is it worth it to do the rears too? This is gonna be a carry gun so I just want some more color on the front other than the nail polish I'm using now. But I do want to retain the slimness of the front blade.

I haven't sent anything to C&S so no experience there. I have sent a few to Novaks though. The work is excellent and the turnaround time is very quick. It it were me I would do the front and rear.

C&S does good work.  I don't know about their turn around for sights but when I had a trigger job and beavertail done years ago the time was months.  Another good HP smith is Jim Garthwaite.   Don't know his turn around though.

I did Novaks and the were super quick, easy to deal with and did a fantastic job

I had the old sights removed (beer can style with tall blade front), the slide milled and new sights installed. I did solid black rear and white surround tritium front. Really great setup and I'm glad I took Novaks suggestion to try that combination

They are 100% good to go!

Jim Garthwaite is also awesome and I plan to have him do some barrel refinements for reliability and trigger work for my hi power here soon. He's also super easy to deal with and responsive on questions.
