    What sights fit on P226 Elite Dark?

    in Sig

    Posted · Edited by Jayohee

    Both the Heinies and the Warrens will be too short to get your POI where you need it. The dovetail itself sits deeper in the slide on these models. I changed a co-worker's MMCs out and we tried a number of different fixed sight replacements (front and rear combinations) on his elite dark and couldn't get close to where they needed to be. It was printing something like 14" low at 25 yards with a an #8/#8 combo. Bruce's solution is the best one I know of. An alternative is what we ended up doing: peening the MMC sight's dovetails with a punch slightly so that it could then be refit into the slide without any wobble.

    Sorry if this sounds dumb, but what do you mean by "peening?" What I did (for now at least) is cover the rear dots with black electrical tape to mimic the target sights. It's better but the posts that hold the rears sights stick out like Batman's helmet. I'd like to have a uniform/level top when getting a good sight picture. Did you just shave them down?

    I know that Gray Guns makes a nice rear sight but at $175 plus shipping it's not very economical for me. I believe that the ones that came with the gun are MMC combat sights, but would something like this work?

    or these

    The 3 Dot sight is not very effective for me in getting quick sight pictures. I use a single "I" for my SP2022 and love it but choose to run the 226 because I shoot better with it.

    Thanks!

    If you use your M&P in Production, stippling the frame outside the area noted for grip tape would be considered modifying the frame for competitive advantage, and that's a no-go.

    Roger that. Plus it's a permanent modification and the next person buying the gun may not want it modified like that. I mentioned stippling as an alternative to grip tape which may not stick well to the side of the frame.

    I could never stipple any of my guns. It just never looks good and it's permanent. Skateboard tape all they way

    Jayohee, I used to have grip issues or my Glock. Grip tape in the right place helps but you need to correctly position your weak hand on the grip and lock it in. I made this video for another shooter bit it keeps coming in handy. Perhaps it can help

    Thank you for the vid. This is indeed how I grip in general and as a result I've just switched the tape to the upper half of the weak hand grip area. It is now essentially where my weak hand palm would be. I tried it out earlier today with roughly 100 rounds and it works perfectly

    Sigtalk? is that a real place? :)

    Brians forums are the one stop shop for all things USPSA! :cheers:

    There's SigForum but I have never heard of Sigtalk.

    http://sigtalk.com/forums.php

    It's not as large as Sigforum but has a much cleaner/user-friendly interface. It's become one of my primary spots but this is getting more attention as I'm becoming more interested in USPSA.

    Lots of Sig enthusiasts as may have guessed but the competition board isn't very active.

    Is there an official way to submit a rule change request? Given that we're allowed to add grip tape to the grip I would like for USPSA to consider allowing us to add it to other parts of the frame. Specifically I'd like to be able to put some in front of the take down pin/lever. I shoot thumbs forward and it would be nice to have a little something there for my thumb to grip.

    I'm thinking of using chalk or some type of grip spray on my non-shooting hand. The levers and buttons are exclusively outline as prohibited so making the change would be next to impossible

    You must have gotten some PM's that say it is OK. Every post in the thread so far has said it is a no go in Production. So, if you are talking Production you have to stick to the pic referenced in the rule book.

    Yes sorry, I'm getting email notifications from 2 separate forums I'm involved with. Two members at Sigtalk said yes. I got the boards mixed up. Sorry for the confusion!

    Thank you for all the responses. I have a pic but unfortunately not enough posts to show what I mean. A few of you have said I'm ok for production yet others have said no. The rule book is pretty clear however so it looks like I will be taking it off. Thanks again

    Noob here so pls bear with me :) I just finished my first AP orientation at a local range and I remember them saying we can't add any to the slide/trigger but nothing explicit about the frame. I have some on the left side of my frame for my non-shooting thumb and want to know if I should remove it before our match in Sunday. I tried searching on Google a few times but it seems like most topics were from several years ago. Any help would be much appreciated

    Thanks in advance
