Hiya Rmcnelly, think I saw a member here have David make a custom ghost ring for a po-1,that got me searching the net, and came across a site of the inventor, gunsmith, instructor, Tim Sheehan , and his "goshen-hexsite.com" and many questions will be addressed. He has a shop here in AZ, I drove up to Sedona a couple times, he showed me the process he uses , he instructed me in its use, and offered advice via email, calls, and lessons. He was able to use my factory front sight, machined it to his specs, and believe he used the factory dovetail for the hex. Cost was bout 200 sights installed, and 100 for private lessons. He uses SIRT pistols in training, so alot of dry firing practice. I chose to buy the laserlyte cartridge, from Amazon, in 9mm for the po-2, and it works in any 9mm semi auto. Because I just dont care for the Glock platform many SIRTS use.
As I mentioned in a previous post the hex for me , compared with the factory irons or trijicon night sites, is no comparison if ones goal is to put holes where you want as fast as you can pull the trigger. The experience is hard to into words, ya do all this practice with sighting, trigger control, dry fires etc., like a martial artist practices their forms for thousands of repetitions. Then on the range, with live fire, if you can kinda let the lessons become reflexes, ignore what your mind wants ta tell ya to do, and just let go. Next thing you are smiling at the hits ya landed, lookin over your shoulder ta see if anyone else noticed. Usually cant repeat the accuracy with taking extra time, "trying" to aim for the bull. For my EDC, I'm most confident in this set up,for these short distances and I'm sure everyone has their own path to getting to that level of confidence. But if I'd need to make a head shot at 30yards, I'd need my Tactical Sports and factory irons. So Rmcnelly, or anyone with questions I welcome pm's, prefer email. Would love to try my hex slide on a non omega trigger compact frame someday, if ya find yourself in the phx area sometime.
