Default Night sights?

The website shows only white dots for sights and from the pictures its hard to tell if the sights have a dovetail to allow them to be changed. I want to hold one for sure to see how it feels.

You're carrying a Mosin Nagant! What are they going to do? Threaten you with their peashooters? Heh.

I don't think I'd ever use it...9mm is my smallest. Maybe it would be better than nothing, or maybe it would just piss the BG off. I just can't believe how small these things are getting.

Getting smaller?
Try this FP-45 -- it's .45 ACP. Heh.

Doesn't look that much smaller than my p2000sk, just slimmer.

The kahr pm9 makes that thing look like a giant.

Although I am liking the trend for manufacturers to offer melt treatments and whatnot for the CCW crowd. When I had my CDP II it was one feature that really stood out.

If I had the money I'd like to get another p7m8 and get it to some kind of insane machinist to do the same thing to it. Then get it robar NP3'd up and have the ultimate ccw weapon (sorry kimber fans). <ducks>

That's funny. Not sure I want to be within 20 feet of that thing when it goes off.

Reliably hit 12 inch plate at 50 feet (17 yds), which gets ugly as the bullets were tumbling -- the barrel is smooth. Not sure if they were "point shooting". Heh.

I shot one of them when I was about 21 years of age. 40 years or more ago still remember the recoil and noise. Made quite an impression.
