Tiberius 8 Sights question.

I seem to remember seeing the same type of sights used on the Tib 8 on real-steel weapons, is there a particular manufacturer that would produce these?

If so, I hope I can get a fiber optic kit for it. That would help my aim a lot.

If anyone can test it out that would be great, but it looks like CZ 75 front sights would be the only ones (that I can find) that are shaped similarly. But this is only by looking at pictures online, I still have not been able to find any in person to compare to the Tac8.

If any one can find out for sure that would be so great.

but anyways, I added this shotgun sight for now

I dont see why it would be hard for a machinest to put out some, I was suprised when I got my tib to see how easily the sights are removable, and also has cheap and sloppy the stock ones are! The fiber optics on my pgp is better! I hope something soon comes out because I feel bad putting white out on my awesome pistol, it seems undignified.

Am I the only one wondering what the sights are for on a Tib?

When I shoot a Tib, it is nearly always quickly and at fairly close range. I point the gun like I would point my finger and pull the trigger. Usually, at least one of the eight will burst on the target.

For me, the Tib is a back up, close "combat" companion for my bolt-action. If I need to aim at something, I use that.

I just use the front sight. I put a little white paint in the tiny square.
I even use the Tib as a primary sometimes. I've done and seen some amazing shots with these pistols.

I'm the same way. I've played with mine enough that I don't even bother using the sights; if I'm holding it as I should, it'll hit what I want it to hit.

I just did a sweet mod that basically makes it look like what dundadun did. I took feedgate from a pgp2k and took off one of the orange sights (Ive moded a dif speedfeed on my pgp so this was scrap) then just drilled the stock front site on my tib with the smallest bit I had, turned out to be a perfect fit, I just pushed the site through, the pressure is perfect enough to hold it without glue. Ill get pics but it looks identical to Dun's but with orange instead of green. Now I need to do something about the rear site..


for the record I find sites are extremly usefull on pistols, but not rifle setups, Also in low light conditions you cant really see the top of the tib sights so having a glow site lets you target much faster in the dark.

And personally I like to hit more then 1 in 8 shots, since that would be unloadinig a whole clip at every target just to hope to hit them with one...
