View Full Version : Harrison Custom sight ?
I am thinking about picking up a Springfield Loaded in 9mm. The only negative is it has the adjustable rear sight. While I have never had an issue with the one on my TRP Operator I prefer a fixed rear. I did a search for replacements and came across one offered by Harrison Custom. Has anyone on here used the Harrison sight or know anything about it?
Thanks!

No, but it looks great to me.
Instead of buying a gun with with a permanent feature you don't like, why not just buy one with a fixed rear sight?
Those Harrison rear sights are undoubtedly well made, but they still look like exactly what they are... An afterthought. Why hack up a slide with a BoMar cut and then pit a bigugly hunk of fixed sight in it?

Those sights are STOUT. The cool thing is that they can double as a tomahawk.

The adjustable rear sight is the only one they have. And it's the only one in town short of going with a RIA or the like.
The replacement sight won't win any rewards for looks but as long as its robust I don't care. I guess another upside would be once I switch them out I would have a spare rear for the TRP.

They are very nice sights, with nice tritium options (3 dot or 2 dot picture). Aesthetically, to each his own; I like the way they look.

functional - yes
ugly as hell - yes
I still have one to replace a bomar in my drawer. Instead of swapping the sight, I sold the gun.

You could tie a few Boresnake's together and use that thing as a grappling hook! :blink:
The Jardine Custom Tactical Hook sight is one of the best on the market...IMHO.

Can you buy the Jardine sights anywhere?
Anyway, back to the OP...I've been using one of the Harrison LPA cut sights on my Range Officer since I bought it. There were some issues with front sight height on the first batch, but John addressed it with the new ones. The U-notch is great, a little wider than on the earlier models, really helps you pick up the front sight quickly. I have the plain black one on there now, but as soon as he releases the T1s with the U-notch I'll be changing it out; how the tritium lamps are installed is brilliant.

Too bad they're vaporware...

It's an ok sight........as is the Harrison.

Really? You have a Jardine Tactical Hook sight on your 1911? Please post pics and training experiences with them.

Anchored into the slide by (3) Hex screws...it will NOT move during (1) handed manipulations, hooking on clothes, wood, rocks or off cement. I have seen it done.

The front of the hook is lined in 40 LPI that allows it to catch on surfaces for manipulation, but it doesn't "snag" accidentally. He dehorns them around the edges. He also makes a Novak cut version.
I have these on all my 1911's.

Very "fast" sights...acquisition speed is quick IMHO...

Jardine Tactical Hook sights are on a STI Eagle 5.0 9mm, with some enhancements by Jardine Custom...

John's sights are very, very good, especially considering what it will be replacing. I really like his entire line of sights. His retro is excellent and his newish Novak cut options are also very nice.
If John is making it you can be assured that it will be very high quality and functional. He has a very similar sight for a Baer...

Jardine sights are by far the nicest replacement for a bomar, but they wont retrofit into a "deluxe cut". Harrison's original, two piece sight will

Im still saying it.
Where are they commercially available? I dont care that YOU have one. I want to be able to go to a website and buy them, not have to blow a "Gun Jedi" in order to be able to get these so i can "manipulate" my pistol...
So, having said that. Since im nobody and these sights are not available to USPSA Jockeys like myself, they're vaporware.

I'll be the first to admit I didn't expect to see pictures of the sight on your guns so in that way, okay, I guess cool? but it definitely doesn't help if I can't buy the sight myself.
And considering this is a sight recommendations thread, there's not much point in bringing up a sight nobody can buy just to play gun hipster/I was in to this before it was cool.
It does look like a quality sight and I would give one a go if they were actually available for purchase anywhere, which so far does not seem to be the case.

Sarcastic comments and BJ's to get them? Good luck finding them. :rolleyes:

The Harrison sights look massive. They seem kind of bulky.

That's the only thing that bothers me about it but based on the feedback I might give one a try.
Mace, PM sent.
All PM's answered...;)

That's why metalworking implements were invented. A sufficiently skilled smith could profile or blend them any number of ways.

Exactly... It can be re-profiled till ones heart is content.

10-8 also makes sights for this type of application:

That's for a BoMar rear sight. The SA 9mm Loaded Target uses an LPA cut. 10-8 has a sight for the LPA cut coming out, but no release date yet.

"Vaporware" huh?! :secret:
Mace
Got a link to the webstore where i can buy one?
Actually, i think id rather just give 10-8 my business for super elite tacticool one handed manipulation devices, i mean...sights.
Call Jardine Custom @ (510) 489-8477
Novak are $75 installed or uninstalled. Bomar are $150 installed or uninstalled. NO additional charge for installation.
I would recommend you mailing your slide to him and letting Jardine install them, he's a MASTER of his craft. Make sure your current sights are zero'd to your satisfaction and you will get the slide back with the properly installed Jardine Tactical Hook sight zero'd.
Will 10-8 do that for you? NOPE.

Thank you for the info. & looking out, Appreciate it! :)
You could just use the adjustable sight that comes on it.

Doesn't hold up under hard use or one handed manipulations that require racking the gun off of: a rock, table, belt buckle, etc...
