Good morning to the forum and members.

I only yesterday purchased my first Dan Wesson " Valor" ( used) and am very pleased.

BUT I need a little help right from the get go.... I need to replace both the front and rear sites as the dots are almost non existant. Now this gun was only mfg. in 2013 and I really wouldnt have expected this  but what the heck. I just need to know where to go to get a good set of night sights that fit the DW Perfectly?? Any help will be very much appreciated.

   Ill look forward to being a member of the group.

   Kindest Regards

Can you paint the dots with sight paint?  They won't be night sights, though.

Welcome!  I've been happy with Ameriglo Operators on my Glocks- 4 years and still strong.  I don't have night sights on the Dans.

The Valor's came thru with Trigicon's I think.  They should last about 8-10 years.  Maybe give Trigicon a call and see what they have to say.  They may give you some credit to a new set.  They can also be re-lamped at a substantial savings compared to buying totally new sights.

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

The website says they were fitted with "Tactical Ledge Tritium" and the photo's I've seen indicate they are Trijicon.  As the others said - send the slide to Trijicon and they'll relamp them.
