Three different sight systems were tested along with the different barrels and slides. The factory-installed polymer three-dot sights of the original G23C slide (left) were replaced with Trijicon's new HD Night Sights. The serrated rear sight contains tritium lamps on either side of a wide U-shaped notch that makes it easy to acquire the large yellow or orange dot surrounding the front sight's tritium insert.
The weight-reduced Lone Wolf custom black-oxide slide (center) is shown with the new Ameriglo Combative Applications Pistol (CAP) sight system. The front sight blade contains a tritium lamp surrounded by a square patch of chartreuse Luminova material. The wide, square notch in the black rear sight is underlined with a single stripe of Luminova. A quick charge from any light source will cause the Luminova inserts to glow brightly for 20 to 30 minutes for an enhanced sight picture in low-light situations. This view of the rear sight also shows the rounded rear edges of the custom slide and a custom engraved slide plate.
The full-size, stainless-steel Lone Wolf slide (right) is topped with an Elliason-style tritium, rounded-blade, adjustable rear sight by Champion. This square-notch, low-profile target sight is fully adjustable for windage and height with white outlines around the tritium lamps. The front sight is a Trijicon white-outline night sight. In order to install this rear sight, the slide requires custom milling and drilling.
