This illustrates a point. Geometry being what it is, a taller front sight will in most cases lead to impacting lower on target. In leas327's case, the shorter sight is impacting lower. I say this to say that differences in hold (six-o-clock vs. center mass), sight alignment variances, and projectile weight can all have a greater impact on point of impact than a few thousandths of sight height. I measured the factory sight on my .40 TS and the .215T Dawson very carefully and found the Dawson is nearly .018 taller than the factory unit. When I had the Dawson installed on my gun, it shot to point of aim (center mass hold) out to 10 yards, but was 1-2 inches low at 25 yards. This was with 165 gr projectiles. So, if I were doing it all over again, I'd probably go with the .195T unit, but your case may be different based on all the other variables. If you want to swap Leas327, send me a pm and we can work out the details.

Well, you're in luck as I happen to have the factory front from my .40 TS and a Dawson .215 sight in my parts bucket (recently switched to an adjustable rear). The factory front sight actually measures 7.4 mm or .290" tall with my calipers (bottom of sight base to top of the blade). The Dawson .215T sight measures 7.8 mm or .308" tall (again measuring bottom of sight base to top of the blade). The blade portion does in fact measure .215". So, based on my measurements, I'd say a .195" tall Dawson sight is going to get you as close to your existing set-up as possible.

This is the one I used on my TS. It's the same height as the factory front. 050-655-00 - Sight/CZ/Front/85 Combat/Opt/.215T/.090W/Patridge/Also Fits 75B Series/75Tactical Sport/Tools Included

Same experience here. Orders used to ship the next day, now they're taking 4-5 days. Midway is really kicking their butt lately.
