johnnywitt Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Ok, so I have a J Frame as a training handgun for my 9 & 11 year old Kids, It's a 63-5 3" with the OEM Hi-Viz Front that is .125 wide and my Factory Rear Sight notch is .123. I want to change to a Dawson Pinned Front that is .100, but the OAL of the Hi-Viz is .801 & the Dawson is .560, so now I have a lot of real estate on the SS Sight Ramp- ramp is just a bit longer than the OEM Front Sight. Is having a short OAL F/O Front Sight in relation to the Ramp Length a bad thing? Will this be ok, as you are looking at the sight and not the ramp. I have not had my Gunsmith install this sight yet. I can still send it back. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJones Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 It'll be fine as long as the height is the same or close to the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 What is the height of the front sight? I may have a .750 long by .100 wide that will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
