Can't think of any Steve, off the top. In case you haven't, take a look at the Warren/Sevigny Competition set with the fiber optic front. Lots of daylight on both sides of that blade.
I got mine from http://www.cpwsa.com/ He's in our vendor tent.

GOD, and Gaston Glock have provided you with a fine precision firearm! If it quits working after you mess with it, you've got nobody to pray to and you're going to need SOMEBODY to MIRACLE your friggin' bullets downrange, dummy! Don't mess with GOD or GLOCKs

Why the Heinie SlantPro rear, just out of curiosity? I find the slanted forward face of that rear sight design really picks up distracting light glare. I much prefer the backdrafted (i.e. the top of the sight comes further to the rear than the bottom) face of the WTS rear sight since, in most angles of light, the rear sight face is always black because it's always in shadow.
Pride and fear are emotions, which hope for an outcome. Outcomes take your attention from the present, where the shooting happens, to the future. It is totally impossible to do anything in the future, because it hasn't happened yet. The key to shooting your best is to be present as the witness of the shooting. Do not judge, do not give yourself anything to live up to. We can only shoot as well as we have trained ourselves to shoot. To try to shoot only induces stress. Be content with your current ability. And accumulate practice to improve that ability. Consolidate, build strength where you feel weakness. We cannot raise our ability until we accept our current limitations. Practice dissolves limitations. Matches simply define where the current limits exist. The game of shooting is all about redefining our limits.

Hey Koski!
(Yeah...it's Z from GP.com....). Dawson Precision sells the Heinie Slantpro rear and you can buy either their thin FO front sight or wider ones depending on your taste. I was running the Heinie Slantpro with a .125" Dawson FO front. Plenty of daylight. I shoot both indoor and outdoor and never noticed any glare on the Heinie rear sight.
C ya!

Hello: Try the Warren rear sight and the Dawson 0.105 fiber front. This is a great combo for those small steel plates at 30 yards 
I think you can get them from Shooters Connection. Thanks, Eric

Duane,
The forward slant makes on the Heinie's make them better for carry IMO. Less obtrusive, less sharp of a surface pointing out into space. I see no glare on them. Serrations may be helping.
Nice blurb on overhand vs slide release BTW.

Thanks, Steve. I appreciate the compliment.
On the other topic, I'm not sure there's really a right and wrong answer there, just different experiences and opinions maybe. I've never had a problem with the back drafted WTS sights hanging up on anything in concealed carry, or during a draw from concealed carry. And I find the serrations on the SlantPros, which are supposed to cut down on glare on a forward slanting rear sight face, to me just catch and reflect light and make the situation worse.
