Pros:  Was just as the description said it would be.
Cons:  Wished I could have installed it but took it to a gunsmith instead of taking the chance of messing up the finish on a new pistol.
Would recommend:  yes

Only a couple small things. I didn't know the sights weren't available until it was ordered. The e-mail said when they would become available and they were then sent. As for the sights, that was the only thing I had against the Kimber Crimson Pro, 1000.00 dollar pistol and needed to buy sights to complete it. Yes it has the laser sight that is way cool but in low light conditions needed better sights just in case. These sights should be manditory on all weapons. Then you wouldn't need to take it to a gunsmith to install. Love them and the gun now!!

forget about useing a wood, brass or any other punch & hammer to install these,, there precision dovetail fit, you'l turn ur $1200 kimber into a $600 kimber useing a hammer.,, these dovetails are super tight & must be perfectly aligned,, i used a hyd press, clamping down the slide, just enough so as not to pinch it,, and slowly pressed meprolight into its dovetail useing a 3/16ths x 1.5" long stainless pin to slowly push on sight, a dial indicator, mounted to press showed me exact depth, to center sight midway of the slide,, i feel i got lucky, all went well, not a project for the novice,, kimber gets $35 to do this + shipping,, probably a bargain,, but when removeing old sights, & measureing for a reference, discovered my new kimber came thru with front sight off 1/32,,[.016] ez to measure with a vernier caliper,, always shot to left,, my other kimbers were dead center,, other then that ,, a real bargain & a precision handgun,, go into a pitch black ...

I've only had the sights for two weeks but so far no problems. I ordered the sights to upgrade the factory sights that came with my Kimber Crimson Ultra Carry II and saved $40.00 ordering them from OpticsPlanet as compared to the official Kimber on-line shop. The sights arrived in about 3 days in the original Kimber packing. I had them installed by a qualified gunsmith and it only cost $ 25.00 bucks. Awesome deal!

Sights are Very bright and illuminate in even lighted conditions. These night sights are Green which is the best color for humans to see due to the color spectrum. i would reccomend these to everyone. I will buy another set for my XD pistol. Great buy.
