HeavyD7042 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Anyone already used the .110T sight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rchaas Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I find that Dawson 0.120 is best height, required raising rear 4-5 clicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Mitch Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I use the xtreme 3mm x 5.25mm front sight from Grauffel and it still prints low. Rear sight is still 15 clicks up. I'm considering a Dawson but I can't make a choice between: .110T x .105 .120T x .100 .125T x .115 What would be my best choice? .120 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtired Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I just shot my new Tanfo and with the rear sight at roughly mid point in its travel (20 clicks ish), the Dawson calculator comes out at 0.120. I will run it again to double check before ordering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfcchambers Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I run the 120 Dawson sight on my Limited in 9mm. I still had to crank up the sight a bit, but it is much better than it was. I think you'll be happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHAVEGAS Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Kind of thread resurrection but I didn't have the question in 2016. Looks like I'm going to need at least a 160 in front to keep my stock 2 from shooting high, does this seem unusual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHAVEGAS Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Yes, and with three different bullets/recipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) No it's not unusual. For a long time either .160 or .180 was what everyone ran. I run a .140 to let me lower the rear a few notches (make that fragile LPA rear a little smaller) and love it. Any shorter and you get a lot of slide in the notch as soon as your front sight is elevated a bit. If you don't have any odd marks on the barrel hood or underside of slide from something improperly fit and signs of some peening? Order a .160 or .180 and rock it.

johnbu Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I shoot 160 x 100 wide on all my iron sight tanfos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHAVEGAS Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Alrighty then. Side note, no signs of abnormal wear but there was more poi change after the first 1000 rounds or so than what has been typical with my other guns. Might just be a one particular gun fluke or maybe it is a Tanfo thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) I sighted mine in at around 200 rounds after installing a .140 Dawson front, bringing the rear down 5 to 10 clicks or so. When I cerakoted the gun I obviously pulled the sights off. It had 2,500 rounds or so through it. Vertical zero was still dead on for the same ammo.

Ck867 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I aim where my poi is behind fiber. I've been using a .160H front but I had to have the rear sight cranked up quite a bit (Roughly 35 clicks). Recently switched to a .150H and was able to move the rear down some but it was still 21 clicks from the very bottom. I tempted to try .140H now.

Loctited it and it's been tight for a couple thousand rounds now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any rocket science gun smithery to know about here? Lock up feels very solid, racking slide feels smooth, wear marks on barrel & slide do not seem unusual or excessive, nothing going on that looks like deformation anywhere.

JP221 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I'm trying to decide between a .090 and .100 wide Dawson fiber optic front sight to use with a stock rear sight on a Stock 2. I'm leaning towards the .090, but would anyone be willing to post pics of each? I'm curious how much space is on each side of the blade. Thanks!

MemphisMechanic Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I run a .100" and the sights look like you'd see on your average M&P or Glock fitted with Dawson sights. I'd be interested in trying a .090" now that they're available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emjei Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 I can send you pics of mine ....I much prefer the .090 because the .100 covers almost the entire poppers at distances Ps.....I might have a Dawson. 150Tall by .090 for sale in a few days since Im going shorter Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
