My HD front sight paint totally came off today at the range (orange photo luminescent paint, that surrounds the tritium). I was shooting my Smith and Wesson M&P 9 and right when I got done shooting I noticed the paint was gone. I'm going to call Trijicon tomorrow, how is their customer service? Will post pics of requested. Their service is top-notch. You won't be disappointed. |

That's strange. I have them on my 220 & 228. Can't say that I've abused them but have gone through thousands of rounds collectively. I will eventually put them on my 226.

44$ is shipping. Why not ship priority mail? It's just the slide right?

Ya it's just the slide, but I put the slide in a box not a padded envelope. On top of all of that fedex was my only option that was given to me. This is not me bashing trijicon they have been good so far it's just the shipping sucks and the estimated repair date is 4 weeks out.

A slide is not a firearm and could ship in a USPS Priority Mail box with insurance for under $10 easily.

I was dumb and went through a third party mailer that is next to my house, next time I'll just go to the post office in town. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Not to be a dick, but don't throw that $34 stupid tax on Trijicon. You chose to mail it from there, like was said, a slide would go in a usps box for under $10. I shipped my slide off to Glock for factory night sights, it was around that price. Maybe a slight bit more, I insured it for the full value of the gun because I like my BATF serial # |

Rare.
I carried them on duty for a long long time in a safariland ALS holster, which if you're aware isn't exactly friendly to front sights. A large portion of my co-workers do too, and I've never seen this type of issue. Rare incidents happen, and unfortunately, they have to happen to someone. As it happens, in this case, you're that someone. It happens, I've been there too. They'll make it right, and they are still very good sights. Don't let this sour you. |

Exact same thing happened to me. They requested the slide, I laughed and told them no, I would send ONLY their product back to them and they could send me a new front, I installed it in the first place with a pusher. They agreed and if I remember correctly it was a few week turn around and only cost me a few bucks for a big enough USPS box to not have lost. No complaints.

I had a rear trijicon lamp go out on my G21 when I dropped it while cleaning. I shipped my slide back and told them what happened. They replaced front and rear sights for free and it only took 3 weeks.
