A teammate of mine ordered the nitesitters for our gbb's and overall we do like them quite abit.

Think of the performance as about 1.5 to twice as long lasting per charge as the TM glock sights.

They come in a pack with the nitesitters, a razor blade, an alcohol swab, and a toothpick.

You clean your GBB sights with the alcohol swab, then use the razor to take one sight off at a time, then place / drop the nitesitter onto the gbb sight. Move it around abit on the gbb sight to get good placement, then use the flat end of the toothpick to press / squish the sight onto the gbb sight.

Lastly you use heat to "activate" the glue on the back of the nitesitter and you are all done.

I put these on my tm 4.3 hicapa, and they worked great! I love the three white dots, kind of sights and these nitesiters allow you to put that style of sight on any gun, provided there is enough room.

I still have a few of them left, unfortunatley my KWA PTP the white dots on this GBB are too small and the nitesitters are too big, so they dont fit on the back, only on the front sight. But that is ok I guess, I am planning on using the remainders on my RS M92 and I hope that the sights are big enough!

I fired many, many rounds and the nitesitters never fell off or moved after placement on the 4.3, although I do not have the gun anymore so I am not sure how well they held up over time...

I am not sure about that, but I do not believe so, the sights do not glow on their own at all, they require charging with a flashlight, just like the TM Glock sights, the difference is you can put them onto any gun, or any "thing" for that matter and they last longer then the TM sights did...
