I am considering replacing the stock night sights on my ODG P-07 with a set of Night Fision sights. I think the stock sights are pretty decent as far as visibility, but where I find them lacking is they don't have an actual ledge on the front side of the rear sight to facilitate emergency one-handed racking of the slide. I replaced the stock sights on my other P-07 a couple of years ago with CGW's tritium sights made by Dawson, which also have decent visibility for me, but are shaped exactly like stock sights so also don't have a ledge for one-handed racking.
Of the self-defense night sights available for for the P-07 which do appear to have a ledge to facilitate one-handed racking, there are the XS big or small dot sights, and the Night Fision sights, that I am aware of. I am used to three-dot green sights so I figure I'll go with the Night Fisions with either white or yellow around the green on the front, and black with green on the rear.
I am also thinking of taking the opportunity to get whatever tools and plan I need to successfully remove my front and rear stock sights without destroying them, and install the new sights myself. From what I have read here in the past, you can get a fairly inexpensive tool to push out the rear sight from its dovetail and push in the new one. The front sight seems more problematic, due to the threadlocker applied, so I will need to apply heat to release that before trying to carefully tap it out and not destroy it in the process.
Any feedback on my reasoning for wanting to replace the sights, sight selection, and approach towards removal and installation would be appreciated.
