Saw this one and wanted to know if anyone had thoughts on them ?

I have an old police wing master with just the bead sight. And was hoping to swap it out to something more pronounced and plus it’s a night sight as well

I put one on my Mossberg 500. Much better. Easy to spot at night even without my glasses. The brass bead was invisible to me without my glasses, and I don't think anyone breaking in is going to wait while I put on a pair.

Install required sanding/filing as the threads protruded inside the barrel and blue loctite because it didn't line up when threaded all the way down.

I was surprised just how solid the bead ended up with just blue loctite. Would I sling it over my shoulder and go to war with it and expect it to stay put? No, but it's been in and out of the range bag, safe, and had over 50 rounds of 00 buck through it and it hasn't budged.
