I have a Ruger Max-9 that is optic ready with a shield pattern. I don't need all the bells and whistles of a high priced one but also know not to buy the cheapest. Middle of the road or best value type. INGO
knows all, please respond with your thoughts. Thanks, Rich.

I have not used them but the swamp fox sights have gotten some good reviews.
I will say this though. I put a 407k on my glock 19 mos with a chpws plate and it fits amazing. The optic is the exact width of the slide now. No overhang at all. And the ameriglo gl-329 co witness perfectly.
Have yet to take it to the range and put rounds thru it yet though
