Had a set of these installed on my 19. I love them. My only issue, is the rear sight is sharp, the edges of the backside are almost like razors. Has anyone else experienced this? Remedy? I carry IWB and certain movements dig them into my side. I'm also expecting that after time they're going to tear my shirts apart. I'm not a fan of the idea of taking a file to them, maybe lightly sand them?
Carry holster is an INCOX, not looking to change that for something with a guard either. |

I carry IWB appendix between 1-2pm with HD's on my 19, dont have any issues with them digging into me or catching on clothes |

They are sharp as in not rounded corners, but not like they will cut me if I rub my finger over it with some pressure |

They are sharp and this is a common complaint with them... actually one of the only complaints people have about them. I've gotten used to it. Some people have tried to smooth down the edge but I have not heard of anyone who liked the finished results. I've got them on a M&P and love them. What holster are you using OP? If it doesn't have a slide/body shield that's why. |

I hit all of mine with some fine sand paper to round out the edges and corners slightly. The goal was to get from out of the "draw-blood sharp" category so finish damage is minimal. That's what I'm thinking. My OCD can deal with some finish wear more than I want to deal with worn shirts and bloody sides. |

Yes, and I don't like it, but I haven't cut myself or damaged any shirts yet so I'm going to leave it be. |
Ive cut myself with mine on my 19 several times during courses, or movement drills at the range. I took a small file and tried to round the edges off with pretty poor results. I carry appendix as well, and have found that a little cant in the gun makes the sights not as likely to stab you in the stomach if you have to bend. Sitting never bothered me, but trying to bend at the waist sure as hell did

| I carried my 19 with HDs for about an hour in an Incog. Holy fuck it was bad. After modifying the holster to cant the gun forward I've had no more problems and carrying and concealing is easy. What I'm saying is the gun being oriented straight up and down was the issue. |

I'm not a fan of the idea of taking a file to them, maybe lightly sand them? Just a thought: Ya know that plastic dip stuff they sell at Lowes or Home Depot that you can use to coat hand tool handles? It is durable as hell if properly applied ans creates a blunt cushioned edge on sharp metal. $3.00 and a box of Qtips and 5 or six coats over a weekend while you watch TV and the problem is solved. |

The thing about plastidip is that unless the part is fully 'encapsulated', it's going to peel right off. It's not very adhesive and depends on the geometry of the part to hold onto it. It would likely peel off the first time you holster it. I would grab a jewler's file and some Birchwood Casey super black. |

Been looking at a set of Trijicon HD's for a Glock 17 GEN 4 myself. Do they shoot to the point of aim? Heard that the POA/POI might be off due to the height of the sights. POA on my MP9 with a top plane 6 oclock hold, little high at longer distances with a combat hold |

POA on my MP9 with a top plane 6 oclock hold, little high at longer distances with a combat hold I was afraid of that. I just sold a FNS9 with the same sight picture and the POA/POI drove me absolutely nuts. Might have to just order the OEM night sights or a fiber optic option with a blacked out 10-8 rear. |

It's not a huge deal to me, I guess I should have clarified a little bit. I'm usually shooting IDPA targets, so a COM aim ends up being a 6 oclock hold on the "A" zone. I'm only doing this on 20yd+ targets because it can be difficult to quickly distinguish the A zone at longer distances. Anything closer and I'm covering COM with the front dot.

| I bought my OD Green G19 wth a set of Trijicon HD's on it, I didn't care for their height and sharpness on the G19 so I removed them and installed a set of GLOCK factory night sights on it. They have a much lower profile and no sharp edges on them. I love the Trijicon HD's but I don't feel they are the best option on a carry size gun like a G19 that's just my opinion. |

Quoted:
Think I'll try the factory night sight option first and see what my needs are from there. To me the factory night sights have way too tight of a sight picture on a short gun like a 19. I have used a factory front night sight and an Ameriglo plain black .164 or .180" notch Classic rear and liked that setup a lot on a carry gun. For full size guns, I really like Warren sights. |

they are sharp! now all my IWB and AIWB holsters have a full sweat guard. Mine on my 43 still stab me, even with full sweat guards  Do you have dunlop disease? Had to Google that to be able to answer, but no I do not. I'm actually pretty fit and lead an active lifestyle. |
