Sight Options
Front Sight:
I'm partial to the Green Fiber Optic .100 wide x 1mm. I'm using it on all my guns (apart from the Aristrocrat sighted gun). .100 means that the fiber is .100 inches (2,54mm) thick - good to remember when you need to order more fiber. 1mm is the thickness of the sight post.
I'm colorblind and need a lot of light on the fiber, therefore I've been using a different manufacturer sight that allows for a longer fiber producing a brighter dot. The drawback is that I've cracked 3 sights in the past 4 years. The constant innovations brought forward by Infinity has solved that by adding a reflective disc under the fiber, using the ambient light to add strength to the fiber. It is still not as bright as others but I seriously doubt that it will crack. Reliability is key. It does need a cleaning once in a while to be effective.
For IPSC i suggest a thin front sight to maximize the transitional view.
Gunbuilder II is not 100% up to date so use the comments field to specify what you want.
Rear Sight:
Gunbuilder is not fully updated with all the new versions of the Infinity Sights. Infinity now produce their sights in-house. I have the competition and fiber optic sights, and am impressed by the solid design. You can chose between four different blades. It is technically possible to change the blade on your own (if you know what you are doing) but I have no experience in doing so.

Fiber Optic
Target
Competition
You can also request to have you slide cut for just about any other sight of you choice. Like
Aristocrat
J-point
Docter
I'm sure if you contact Infinity and would like a Aimpoint Micro instead of a rear sight, they will most likely accommodate your request. Your imagination and budget is probably the limiting parameters.
The new sight are sold as replacements and can be ordered with the traditional Bo-Mar cut. The newer pistols are cut with a Infinity sight cut which is 1mm lower than a Bo-Mar.
Left is a custom made sight - now retired.
Center is a popular brand
- cracked 3 in 4 years.
Right is the new Infinity Parabolic fiber optic.
A different view of above sights. the lighting is not even for all three but the middle is brighter regardless of amount of light due to the longer fiber optic rod. The left and middle sights are only used for comparison and are not options in Gunbuilder.
Competition "rabbit ear" blade mounted. Target blade to the left and another competition to the right. Tactical resemble competition but has a straight angle.
