Which Nightsight

[HenryinFlorida]

I have a CW45 and I am thinking of upgrading the sights to Tritium night sights. I see Kahr carries 3 different sets, they are:
Metrolite,
Novak &
Trijicom sets.
What are there pro's and con's?

Your opinions will be appreciated....

Only the Trijicon front sight will fit the CW45, so your choice for that is limited to these two Kahr offerings:

If you go with just the front, any of the Novak or Meprolite rear sights made for the "new style slide with new dovetail cut (http://kahr.shopvisible.com/images/newslidestyle.jpg)" will work...or you could go with just the Trijicon front sight (it will work with the non-tritium, rear sight that comes with "C" series pistols).

Your other choice for "C" series pistol sights are from Dawson Precision:

Differences:
Meprolite seals their tritium capsules which, IMO, gives a larger dot for daytime use than the other sights.
All work about the same in the dark (again, my opinion).
The Trijicon front sight is held on by a screw.
The Dawson front sight is staked on.
The Dawson front sight has a larger base than the Trijicon.

I have Trijicon from Kahr on both my "CW" series pistols and am quite satisfied with them (even though I prefer Meprolite sights).

Agreed with everything mentioned above!

Thanks Greg,
The picture of your CW45 with the Trijicon sights installed shows a nice sight frame. I don't see where a person could go wrong with it.
