![]() ![]() The tritium/ luminescent front sight worked great out in the daylight showing up as a red dot on the black post. There is enough white space to the sides to allow rapidly finding the sight, but not so much that you can’t shoot accurately due to the front sight wandering around in too much gap. The relationship between the size of the notch and the front sight is perfect. Larry got it right designing the Vickers Elite Battle Sights. ![]() Sight picture is fantastic for practical applications. At first, the U notched rear sight seemed a bit strange but after just a few rounds I decided I liked it. On the other hand, my expectations of accuracy due to the tight fit were confirmed, this is one accurate pistol. My reservations about the tight fit were laid to rest. Shooting 100 rounds of ball and semi-wadcutter ammunition to get used to the sights and trigger went flawlessly. The mags loaded easily and seated securely. Tritium portion of front sight shows up brightly in low light conditions. The bottom plates also have an over-travel stop to prevent over-insertion of the straight-walled magazines. The two eight-round Vickers Tactical magazines extend from the beveled magazine well and have oversized steel bottom plates for positive seating. I applied a few quick drops of oil to the slide, barrel, and bushing of the gun as it didn’t appear to have any more on it than to prevent corrosion and started loading magazines. Initial impression, the Master Class is a pretty gun with a very tight fit and finish on all the moving parts, sights, and grips. Often if the tolerances are too tight on a new gun it tends to sometimes be a bit finicky on reliability, but we would soon see about that. I have to say I was impressed, while also slightly worried at the same time. Pushing around on the muzzle and bushing, again there was no play at all. Torqueing on the slide side to side, it had no wiggle room what-so-ever. Pressing down on the barrel hood to check for play, there was none. Pulling the slide back to ensure the gun was empty I noticed it was very smooth, with no real play noticed on the slide to frame fit. Hmm, interesting. Easing the slide back down it went smoothly into battery without the slightest bump, glitch, or hesitation. G10 grip color and texture compliment the Black-T finish and woven serrations.
