ericneth63 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Anyone have feedback on Dawson Fiber Optics sights on a Kimber? I have a Custom 2 with factory sights and i am just thinking of changing out the front sight with the Dawson. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rauschdelikt Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I have Custom II too. I have just installed Dawson FO. It works and looks great. Be carefull, Kimber front is really tight fitted. Leszek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leszek This is very true. It took me a hammer, file, dremel, the jaws of life, and a huge helping of humility(I scratched the hell out of the slide) to get my factory front sight off. It ain't pretty, but it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vxhybrid Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 what height did you go with for the kimber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaGunner Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 The DP FO sights are awesome. The front sight height depends on what you have in the rear. Contact DP and I'm sure they can help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rauschdelikt Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 .180 for adjustable sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehorn Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 what height did you go with for the kimber? Depends. I actually put on a hi-viz, it's .180 tall. The DP FO sights are awesome. The front sight height depends on what you have in the rear. Contact DP and I'm sure they can help you. This will definitely be your best bet.

Steven Cline Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I'm running DP FO on my Kimber Super Match II. Love that red dot in the target sight notch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtaylor996 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I love the dp 0.090" front on my team match. I sent the gun back for an unrelated warranty issue, and they refused to touch it due to the sight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob DuBois Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Mount the slide solidly in a vice, I use an old section of leather belt to keep from marking the slide. The tool that comes with a new Dawson sight works great. Measure the old sight once it's out you may need to file a little on the new sight. Worked out nice on my pistol.
