Title: LPA sights? (my s&w 1006 with Novak)
Post by: 8strings8rounds on July 28 2017 07:07:39 PM MDT
Back when I got my 1006, the guy who sold it to me threw in a new set of trijicon night sights that he bought but never installed.
I noticed immediately that the pistol shot low about 4-5" at 20 yards. The night sights do look like they would help a little (front sights a hair shorter and rear a hair taller) but I didn't think it would be enough and started looking for an adjustable rear.
LPA came up in my searches.. But I never heard of them and they were $90 for the TPU10WE30 for the 1006..
Fast forward- just found the TPU10WE30 on fleabay for a third the price and took a chance.
Anybody have experience with these on this pistol?

I have a set on my long slide hunter. Adjustable rear and fiber optic front. They are made in Italy and are very nice, but are not cheap. Sounds like you got a bargain. As I recall mine were about $150 for the pair , and well worth it. I'm sure you will be happy with yours.

I have a set of these.  They required a lot of sanding on both the dovetail and the flat surface behind the dovetail (on the sight). Found this video afterwards, would have made me go a different direction and mill the sights to fit.

Also note the LPA sights go in opposite of how the stock one does, so install left to right (stock sight would be installed right to left).  Video shows this.
