Hey guys I'm looking for a set of meprolights for my Ruger SR9. I have found them on amazon and and a couple other site's, but I'm not sure they are the right ones.
The ones on amazon for the SR9 show the stock number 10994, but the one's on opticsplanet.com show 10993.
When I look at meprolight's website, they don't even show a model for the SR9. There is no listing for 10993.
Hoping someone can help me out.

I can't help you with the correct model number. But I can suggest that your forget about Opticsplanet!
They have various other names (Sites) and flood the market (including Amazon, where if you look closely you may see that the Amazon listing shows that they are getting the item thru opticsplanet).
They RARELY have anything in stock! They are just a storefront that takes orders and then orders from manufacturer's as necessary to fill their orders (lots of time).
Call Ruger/meprolight and ask them what is the correct set number and then buy from the manufacturer.

You were right, the amazon listing is from opticsplanet. Thanks for the heads up. I'll be calling meprolight.

Problem here is that they have no image of the set.
Have you checked Trijicon? I have heard that they are brighter than Meprolight.

Hey everyone,
I want to reassure you that we carry the items listed in our store, although it does happen from time to time that we run out of stock, at which point we do everything in our power to get the backordered item to you as quickly as possible. We have a huge warehouse with the hundreds of thousands of products we carry, which you can see here:

If you're concerned that the product you're looking for may be out of stock, please give us a call and we can double check our inventory to make sure your item is shipped immediately.
Concerning the various stores that are part of our company, since we carry such a broad range of products we have set up specialized stores to meet the needs of the various individuals who buy from us. A full listing of these sites can be seen here:
http://www.opticsplanet.net/oursites.html
We don't hide our stores from the public or their relationship to our parent company, OpticsPlanet Inc. In fact, we're proud that we have stores tailored to meet your needs.
We care a great deal about your experience with us, and as a gesture of good faith I can offer 6% off your next order with coupon code 47af54f, which is good through a week from today, so it expires on June 22, 2011. Hopefully the discount, along with free S&H on most orders over $29.95 (which includes the Meprolight Tru-Dot Night Sights) and our already low prices will convince you that OpticsPlanet is concerned with your satisfaction first and foremost.
If you have any other questions about gun sights or any of the products we carry, contact us and one of our product specialists will promptly answer. And if you have any questions for me about our ordering and shipping process or the status of an order, feel free to send me a PM and I'll make sure to put you in contact with the correct person.

Obviously, I was mistaken based on the pictures of your warehouse and I apologize.
However, everything I have ever tried to order (even showing "in stock" on website) was not available for shipment.
That is why I personally no longer shop with OP or it's affiliates.

I had the same experience(s) and came to the same conclusion.

Just as an alternate experience, I've ordered gun-related items from OpticsPlanet several times and never had an issue with it being out of stock.

I'd been on the fence about some night sights, but an additional 6% discount pushed me over.
I placed my order a few minutes ago. I'll try to remember to update the thread when the sights arrive.
There was no indication on the web site (at least nothing obvious) regarding "in-stock" status. A bit annoying, but, I'm not in a big rush.
Honestly, since tritium will decay over time, I'd rather have the the freshest possible set of night sights ship from the manufacturer, rather than some older parts that may have been on the shelf for a long time... YMMV.

OK, Brian, placed my order with optics planet. Honestly, I didn't want to, but after "my guy" couldn't get them from his supplier and actually recomended opticsplanet, i decided to go ahead and place an order. Thanks for the 6%.

Hopefully I'll have a good review for you guys.

Welllllllll..... FWIW...
I placed my order at 11:AM today, received an email order confirmation at 11:05 AM today... And.....
Received a shipping confirmation via email at 2:48 PM today... Shipping via UPS Ground today.
Hard to complain about that...
Item is Mepro night sites for P2000SK... I guess they were either in stock or the ship-direct-from-factory was pretty fast.
