According to their website:
This slant in combination with the rear sight serrations help eliminate glare from light.
I was shooting my Glock 19 yesterday, which has been modified with Heinie sights front and rear. It was getting into the 7:00 pm hour and the sun was setting over my left shoulder - a very clear sky and bright sun.
In these conditions I finally saw firsthand the true utility of the sight design! The sights stood out even with the harsh backlighting - I am convinced that if I had been using the stock sights it would have been difficult to pick them up in this circumstance due to glare.
I continue to be very happy with my Heinie SlantPro's, far happier than with the stock sights or even Trijicon three-dots. My current arrangement is the flat black rear sight with a tritium lamp on the front. The front is low-profile, meaning that there is no white outline around the insert. It lets me focus on the tip of the sight under normal lighting and provides a very distinct focus point in low light.
