    Only thing I could find via Google was modifying existing replacements for other guns or increasing the rear dovetail.
    You would think someone is going to step up with direct replacements. This little gem is becoming quite popular with the exception of the sights. Who knows, maybe Browning will listen and do it themselves.

      Browning is on it...you guys just bought the wrong model.





      On a serious note, I would guess the slides interchange so that might work...

          Those newer models with all the upgrades are not on roster. With sse, it's kind priced too much. I still want one .

          They are GI sights, and less so with the shrunken size. Just put a dot of paint on your front post, it help a bit.

            I don't think I bought the wrong model. That gun is polymer....mine is not. i will take metal a frame any day over polymer in this gun.

              I used some white glow in the dark nail polish. Stands out, looks great! I taped off the sides and the bottom of the sight, and had my wife so it I had similar problems, but it is now easy to pick up that front sight picture immediately. That was generally the accepted "fix" when these first came out... I remember looking up the same concerns. Good luck!

                Glad to here the paint works. The entire sight system, including the rear is very small. Putting on an adjustable system may look out of place (big for the gun) but from what I've read, this pistol is capable of fine accuracy.
                On a side note, someone on GB keeps selling these for beginning bid of $.99. They have been going for around $350! Great deal, all you have to do is change out the pink grips---unless your into that sort of thing. My LGS wants $599 for the basic compact model, way over priced.

                    Yes, GI style sights @ 85% are a little hard to see. I've used a drop of hi-viz white paint on the front sight blade (covers the entire blade) since I bought mine, when they 1st came out. Works great!
