Yes, night sights, but there are several kinds of night sights.
There are the Tritium sights, they are great, but they are expensive.
There are Fiber Optic Night sights, I have them on my SA177 BB pistol, but I don't like them. Maybe RS grade Fiber Optic Night sights will be better, but I am not sure if that will fit an airsoft glock.
There are also the "old school" night sights with glow in the dark dots (fluorescent material), maybe I should try them.

Nope, although some printing came off.

Was it due to the holster? or just normal wear and tear?

For the externals, mostly from scratching with the box (before opening the box) and scratching with the silencer (when the gun and silencer was in the same bag). The surface finishing is not great.
There was also some normal wear on the printing of the internal parts, but that is inevitable, I guess.

RS Sights don't fit Marui style slides. The RS sight don't have the sight post for the rear. And you need to mod the front sight for fitting.

The only Glock that can accomodate RS sights are the KSC/KWA ones....

You could always try using some nitesiters.com for visibility, this stuff is supposed to be good

Aome retailers on ASC sells them, forgot who though

I'm looking to purchase this package from Toronto airsoft also. Please keep this thread updated on any problems thank you.

This sure looks interesting...

ILLusion used to sell those nitesiters before his accessories thread was deleted. Try him maybe? But he sold the dots. You may have to mod the paint on your rear sight for you to achieve a 3-dot system...

Unfortunately the winter is coming, so probably no long-term durability study very soon.
From various discussion and reviews I saw on Taiwan airsoft forums, this is reasonably durable.

Thanks a lot.

Good review. I have two WE glocks, the 18c and the 23f. The 23f broke the first game I used it, the 18c I have gamed 3 times and it is still working. These are good pistols for WE but still hit and miss WE as I have proved to myself haha.

I just broke mine. I paid $50 for a bnib G18. Fired around 300-400 bb's and the loading nozzle broke, well the spring broke off.

Gun still cycles fine, mag doesn't leak, bb's still shoot just one out of every 10 or so shots don't fire but gun still cycles.

How did you get one for 50 bucks??

[RaisinBran]

It's the TA one, don't know all the details but my friend already purchased a pistol from TA, got the G18 as a gift from his relative, sold to me for $50.

We are TIGHT friends. Plus I helped him with math.

Helped him with his math eh? "No, no... Do it like this... See, it is supposed to be only $50... That's better... Yeah..."
