72stick Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I'm getting ready to replace the sights on my new G17 gen4. I'm planning on using this gun in Limited division. After doing a search for replacement Glock sights, and not seeing anthing definative, I'd be interested in your thoughts on these or other sight combinations for Limited. Thx!

Cy Soto Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 After doing a search for replacement Glock sights, and not seeing anthing definative... That's because any of the sight sets you mentioned will do the job equally well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because any of the sight sets you mentioned will do the job equally well. I have been researching this topic as well. I shoot a 34 in production. I just ordered the Sevigny with the red fiber front. To me it appeared to be a Ford/Chevy debate on many of the top brands. Most things I read seemed positive. They also seemed to be priced fairly... I got them for $ 90.00 shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkballedtarget Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 For me it came down to the dawson or warren/sevigny competition. At that point it was a flip of the coin and I picked the warren/sevigny competition sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ck1 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I wholeheartedly recommend the Warren/Sevigny competition set, the rear notch-width to front blade width is about perfect for our games and I really find that their flat black, non-serrated rear helps one to keep a sharper focus on the front blade and it's alignment as compared to rear sights with serrations. For me, for the front I've come to far and away prefer the uncluttered and crisp picture of the all black set (serrated front only) over FO's. In the past, with FO fronts, I tended to rush shots, pulling the trigger as soon as the glowing dot appeared in the rear notch, the plain black fronts keep me more honest and I can literally count the serrations, and the precision I gain using them more than makes up for any ultra-slight speed-of-acquisition advantage the FO's may have.

Biloxi23 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 They are both outstanding, but I favor the Warren/Sevigny Tactical. I too like the narrow front. My old eyes seem to be able to find the sight alignment better wtih a little more light on each side of the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67 LS1 Camaro Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Gave away my Sevigny set up. I was having a hard time with 8" steel at 20-25yds. I think it was because of the wide rear notch. Then went with the Dawson set up. Now no problems . Later I find that there was a much narrow Sevigny rear. But too late now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Jacket Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I actually use a Hienee rear and Warren FO front. I have been happy with it. Though I have the Dawson FO on another gun and like it is well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSSOH22 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I love the Dawson front. Other than that, im not too picky. I have the sevigny rear, warren, and 10-8 and transition pretty easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I bought both sets and shot them in 6 matches each. Sold the set I liked the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blcksmk Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Hienie / Dawson F/O for my G22. Like this setup enough to even put it on my G35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unit30 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I've got both of those sight combos. Hienie/Dawson on a G17 and Warren on my G35 Limited. I like the Warren/Sevigney set up best with the red fiber optic tube. I purchased the narrow rear sight version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaTact Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Thread drift, but still pertinent. I've read that the Warren rear sights are very tight to install-- even with a sight pusher. That true? If yes, has anyone tried heating the slide/freezing the sight to allow for an easier fit, instead of filing down the sight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Warren rear sights are very tight to install-- even with a sight pusher. That true? Nope. Not an issue at all on the Glocks I put them on. Have had them on and off several times. Zero problems. Good vise, hammer and punch and you're good to go. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichetucknee Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Warren works very well for me. I too like the flat black and the wide rear sight. I just see the target better. Mine were tight to install, but I used the Glock sight tool and everything worked out well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
