Sights for Sphinx SDP Compact?

[seaswol]

On both my Sub Compact and Compact, use a 1.5mm allen key.  On both, they backed out easily and the sight slid forward out of the frame.  ZRTac has sent out their F.O.,s on Wednesday so I hope to shoot them this weekend.

My ZRtactical front sight arrived in the mail yesterday so now I'm on a mission to get the rear sights replaced. Danno would you mind telling me if the "Low Mount" sights are the ones you ordered (or someone else if they've successfully installed them)?

Here's a link to the specific ones I'm asking about:

If I'm not mistaken, the lo-mount requires milling the top of the slide.

Nice!! How was the installation? Did you have to fit it a lot? What is the diameter of the FO? Please let us know about the POI with the factory rear. Hope they have corrected the reported low POI with the factory sight set up.

Cheers

That's the sight I used.  .325" tall, .140" notch.  No milling

Thanks!! I just wanted to confirm before I ordered it.

Here's mine with the 10-8 rear and ZRT fiber optic front.  The rear was very loose so I hope some loctite in the dovetail + the set screw is enough to hold it.

Thanks for the pics!! How difficult was it for you to remove the factory front sight? I couldn't get mine off for the life of me, and I don't like beating on stuff unnecessarily. That, and I don't want to mess up the slide on this gun.

How's the POI now with the new sights? 
POI = POA?
Also what we're you shooting 115gr, 124gr or 147gr?

Thx

Update on POA?

Didn't get a chance to go to the range yet.

Just replaced the stock rear SDP compact sight with the 10-8 Novak sight and went to the range. Dead center on! It shot POA/POI. It fit a little on the loose side but just a bit of peening and it was just perfect. At 10yrds shooting freehand it put all 6 rounds in a 3" bullseye. No more 4-6 low!!! Well worth the $55 dollars.

Mine practically popped out on its own when I took out the set screw.  I've done quite a few sight changes on my handguns and usually I need to put the slide in a padded vice and use a hammer and punch to get them out.  Start with a nylon punch and if that doesn't work try aluminum > brass > steel (ordered based on how likely you will damage the sight / finish ).

This was my experience as well (though I also changed front sights.)  It was shooting a little low but now shoots POA.  I've only shot 124gr ammo through it but I still need to try my 147gr carry ammo...
