So I wasn’t too fond of the factory sights and wanted a way to “improve “ the coarse sight. Maybe it’s my lack of experience shooting with pistols . Anyway ,I started with a piece of 1/8” plastic trimmer line in fluorescent orange , cut a small piece in in triangle shape . I then painted the front of the sight bright white for some contrast and it helped with the plastic to gather light ,almost like the tru glow sights . Next was to carefully glue the triangle to the front sight post. Once that was done , I tested and with the front post taken care of and a slight increase in my accuracy . There was still something missing . That’s when I glanced over at my Benji 392 with a Williams peep . That’s when I desired to add an aperture to the rear sight. I had some 3/16” ID hobby tubing ,compared it to the opening in the rear notch and it only needed to be opened up slightly to have a slip fit for the tubing . The pics show the difference . I’m pleased with the results and am now stacking pellets at 10 yards only possible with a red dot mounted prior. Last thing I need to do is refinish the tubing and remove the excessive white paint on the front post.

I like it! You got a bit of a "ghost ring" sight going on there

Very nice. I found the sights on the PP700 a disappointment. For a gun that almost 300$, to have fixed sights is kinda cheap. MY irons shoot right low constantly. But again nice work.

Robert there is a windage adjustment just loosen the set screw and move the rear notch . But I agree . An adjustable sight would have been better IMO.
