I am currently trying out my first set of Fiber Optic sights, and running the 10-8 with the U-notched rear. Ive been running the Trij. HDs and have decided that I really like the sight picture of the FO for a general purpose sight. I am about to order another set of FOs for my other 19, and am intrigued by the WOTG square or Y notch sights.


So for you guys who run FOs, do you prefer the U or Square notch and why?

Honestly for me it does not matter that much about the notch.  More important to me is the color of the FO.  I prefer a red over any other color.  I originally got my FO with green and while I shot it fine for some reason I just did not like it so I went to red.

I have squared and U notch rear sights and it has never really made me draw a line in the sand one way or the other.  I guess if I had to choose I would do the U notch again because I really like the Wilson\Vickers sights.  It is my plan to put these on my G43 in the near future.

Rear notch isn't important to me either, front site color of green/yellow are the two easiest color for the eye to see.

I run green fiber optics, and or yellow Trijicon HD's on all my weapons.  Initially I thought I like the orange HD's better, but after a fair amount of shooting I've settled on yellow.

I'l echo the above sentiments.  I prefer red FO instead of green.  FWIW, I have a U notch Warren.

If your front sight is a Trijicon HD or Ameriglo with the big bright donut I like the U notch. I like the standard notch with FO. Never tried the Y notch Procter but he is as legit as they come and he uses them so worth a try I suppose.

Thanks guys, I guess I will stick with the U-notch then. I like them on the 10-8s, and my other carry gun as HDs so the U is consistent.

I like the orange dot of the HDs, but I actually prefer the green FO, weird lol.

I feel the same way, doesn't really matter to me. I love the Vickers sights on my G19 and will be ordering another set for my G26.
