They're very well made and include a lifetime warranty.
Do they still use odd-sized front-sight dovetails?
That I do not know. Mine have staked front sights. On the compact, I had the sights replaced with Trijicon night sights. Easy as can be. (Of course, I had someone else do the work for me. :mrgreen:
I just remember AndyC having the devil's own time to try and get a new front sight to fit the dovetail on his RIA. I believe he was ultimately successful, but it was more involved than just a casual sight swap.

That nails it down right there. I can recommend Kimber, their "carry" line has alloy frames for weight savings, and their 2-tone guns look real nice. Plus, their customer service is very good.
