Warren, I have a Smith & Wesson 686 SSR with a Classic style front sight. Would it be possible for you to make me a green fiber optic front sight that is .100 wide and .210 high? I currently have a C&S combat rear sight mated with a .208 Hi-Viz front. I'm looking for a narrower option for the front, and your .100 looks like it would work nicely. Thanks, Rick B.

Regarding the Dawson sights...I have a Gen 3 Glock 34 with a Dawson fixed rear (.115 notch) and a Dawson fiber optic front. Dawson recommends a .205 tall front sight for this set up, so that it what I initially ordered. Once installed, the .205 tall front shot about 5" high at 25 yards. I used the calculations on Dawson's web page for front sights and ordered a .245 tall replacement. The gun is now spot on for point of aim at 25 yards. I recently switched to the Dawson sights after a year of shooting with the Warren/Sevigny narrow notch (.130) rear from CPWSA and the matching .245 tall fiber optic front. The sights were great for target acquisition, but I simply could not shoot longer shots as accurately as I wanted to. The switch to the Dawson sights, especially with the design of the Dawson fiber optic front, has given me a much crisper sight picture and much improved accuracy at longer distances. As an aside, the 34 is my primary SSP gun for IDPA. Last week I surpassed the 10K round mark, and the gun has functioned flawlessly since I bought it new last year. Rick

I shot my first club level IDPA match in June of this year, and have been hooked ever since. My local range hosts IDPA matches twice a month, and I've yet to miss one. I'm starting to get the itch to participate in a major match. For those of you who've done it, when did you make the jump from club level to major match? What (if anything) would you do differently if you could do it over again? Thanks, and happy shooting!
