Does anybody use these apertures? How much better are they?

I switched to hi-ends six or seven years ago and very much like them. The sight picture is good, very clear around the ring, but unlike perspex the ring doesn't ever fade.

My only gripe, and it's a minor one, is that the thickest ring (1.6mm) is maybe a tad thin for me. It's perfectly OK, but I prefer a thick ring. I have thought of getting an iris aperture, but as I rarely change the front aperture, the cost isn't worth it.

I've only used Centra glass inserts for about 15 years. No reason to use anything else.

In the US, 10pt9.com carries them. You can also get them from European online shops like intershoot.co.uk and shootingequipment.de. Which is the best way depends on if the vendor has the items you want in stok.

I get all my Centra stuff from Center Shot Sports. Their website sucks but they do a good job if you email or call them.
