The Thunderbolt does not come with a FO front sight so I am not sure where you are going with this?

The Seraphim version called the Archangel does come with a FO as standard. So do other Seraphim models and I have two of them including the Seraphim Warfighter. Depending on the model, you might also expect an ungraded trigger with an overtravel screw and high density black grips in lieu of the natural mahogany ones from earlier shipments.

That FO upgrade was worth at least $45 to me as I would have done the upgrade my self as I do with all of my pistols. Some of these things are purely cosmetic but that's not the case for me with the FO sight or the improved trigger as I'm trying to maximize the performance of my guns when they are used in competitions.

Ya, I get what you are saying but it didn't even remotely answer the question I asked so I still have no idea where you are going with this. The title of the thread is Thunderbolt not Seraphim. And I specifically asked where he got the FO front for his Thunderbolt not his Seraphim.

I'm sorry, I just read back. I missed that your post was in the form of a question. I guess the point of my posts was to suggest a little careful shopping if the buyer wanted a FO and it didn't come installed. No one here is oblivious to the fact that we are talking about the same gun with different branding. In the US, ATI is the big distributor of the SAM line and in the case of the flagship model, they also call it the "Thunderbolt" and ATI does not offer the FO or at least didn't when I looked at their guns this winter.

Where did you pick up your Seraphim Archangel and do they make them in 9mm?
 
They are moving in the direction of dealers and a distributor but I got mine direct. It is available in 9mm. I'll provide the email address if you need it Mr. Carlos. PM me. I can tell you some of the things I have done with the gun since buying it too. Mine is a 45 but my Warfighter is a 9mm. You might even prefer the Warfighter but it's black which is not a bad thing. Stainless and particularly polished stainless has a down side or two. Ask me how I know. :)
