So last year I picked up a 4006 after not having one for years. I bought a 4006 just a few months after they were released back in 1991 and kept it for a few years then traded it off for a Sig 229. The one I had back then and the one I recently purchased are the adjustable sights models. I've never been really fond of the look of the protective wings on the slide. I've been looking for a replacement slide with the Novak sights and I've not had any luck. However, just like I did on the original one I had, I was able to score what I think to be the very last set of Millett Adjustable 3rd Gen sights in the world. The originals I bought were a white outlined rear with an orange post front. All I could get this time was a 3-dot, white dots configuration. I was able to get new Trijicon sights for the S&W factory adjustable sights so they are like new, but again, I just don't like the look that much. There's no night sight nor really any other options for the Milletts. Since I can't find a Novak slide I'm really relegated to using what I have.
So my questions are:
Should I just suck it up and get over my dislike of the original adjustable sights so I can stick with Trijicons? I do have night sights on every other defensive pistol I own.
Should I stick with these Milletts since I like the profile look a bit more, but I lose the night sights? I'm not sure I would use this pistol for any real defense mode, I bought it more for nostalgia.
So I guess I'm just asking for what look you all like? Which looks better to everyone?
Original...
With Millett replacements...
Thanks all.
