I'd like a Heinie rear with a good white outline front like a Meprolight. Anyone know what height/width front I need to be looking for to match up well with a slant-pro (non tritium) rear?

That's the exact setup I've been wanting also, and if only Heinie had a white ring on their front sight I'd be a happy camper.
What I've found so far is that Ameriglo makes a plain serrated front sight specifically for use with the Heinie rear -- it is .215 tall and .090 wide. But their tritium fronts only come in .200 and .220, both .125 wide. The latter is close but still not exact. I haven't found any other white-ringed tritium sight that meets the description. Part of me wonders if the width of the vial + white ring is just too much for a .090 sight. Would the sight picture work right with a .125 wide front sight? IIRC the Heinies come in .140 and .156 (race cut) rear notch widths.
That's where my search has led me so far….

I really like the look of the Warren sights too, but I don't know if they make a white outline front tritium.
Does this mean your are converting to Glocks?
No, I unconverted from Glocks awhile ago thinking the ole lady would never be interested and I only needed to arm myself. Now she's showing an interest, and there's a chance I can even get her to take a 2 day pistol class later in the year. I have another thread around here somewhere about holster options for females.

Looks like I can get the warrens like I want them from these guys
Warren Tactical - Plain Rear & Tritium Front Set #WTS-GWTT $70
I really would prefer the Heinie since I'm familiar with it. I'll have to try to hunt down someone local that has the Warrens.
Rob,
Shay and Carlos are running the WTS sights. I am going to put the 3 dot set on one of my 17's.

Thoughts on the Sevigny vs. Warren profile?
