Great riview, my feelings exactly! I bought the flat liner when they first came out and initally I loved the sight. The virtical pins are awesome but they are very fragile, metal pins would be MUCH BETTER! I also have broken a pin. Also I have the same problem with the dove tail not holding very well at all and there is a rattle in it somewhere that I can't seem to get rid of no matter what I do. I like the over all design of the sight but feel it needs to be beefed up a bit. I think that I will be getting the HHA tripple threat before hunting season. It seems to be built much more solid.
