Default WTK: The sites on a PC Shorty 45 MK II.

Hello all. Just wondering how many owners out there changed the adjustable sights on their Shorty 45 MK II and what did you all change to or what sights would you recommend. I picked up my Shorty from the internet for $600 and some change but it only came with one magazine, (thankfully it was the PC stamped) and was dirty as get all. Must have been a gun dealers' or store sample at a firing range. LOL. What kind of box/case did your pistol come in? Been trying to win a PC hardcase from eBay but will probably go with a Hardigg Storm Case. Lastly, any suggestions for a holster? I am using a Galco 228 SOB. I heard that 4516/Shorty 45 are compatible for the Galco 228/229. Thanks to all in advance. Take Care and Be Safe everyone. Have a Happy and Prosperous 2010!

Congrats on your Shorty 45 MKII !!

Mine came in a black plastic Doscocil case with a cheap Performance Center sticker on it.

Mine was used. The previous owner had Novak low mount night sights installed.

Any 4516, 457, or 7-round 4513TSW mag will work in your Shorty 45. Regards 18DAI.

I would stick with holsters made for the 4516 for proper fit.

Mr 18DAI is correct. They came in a Doskocil black case with gold PC sticker. The sights are the standard Novak cut and can be changed out easily. Good deal even if it was dirty Enjoy

This Shorty of mine has MMC night sights. Nice sight, terrible company. I've never ordered an MMC sight without having trouble, but the sights are worth the pain. At least so far.

Love my Shorty.
