lucky #7 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I would like to use the Dawson fixed rear sight(PN: 018-001)on my G24. On their website Dawson says to match this rear sight with their .205" tall FO front sight(PN: 019-013). My assumption is that the .205" sight is the correct height for the G17/G22 length slide. However, it occurred to me that my G24 may require a taller front sight in order to shoot POA/POI because of the longer slide length. What height Dawson front sight should I get for my G24? Also, the Dawson fixed rear sights are available with both a .125 and .115 notch widths. I was leaning towards the .125" rear notch. What notch width do you prefer for the G24 and why?

waktasz Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I use a .100 front sight with their adjustable rear, which is .125. I actually just ordered a .090 front sight to try too. I think .115 rear would be too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not call Dawson's and ask the Man himself? He has the most user friendly sight policy anywhere and I'm sure can steer you to the setup best suited for you. If you buy the front and rear from him he will make sure you get what works for you. His suggested sight heights were right on for both my G34 and my XD Tac9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Width all depends on you. My glock has the 125 rear and 115 front. On my 2011 6inch, i have a 110 front and 115 rear. I tried the .100 front and for me accuracy suffered. Some like alot of light others less its all what works for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) I switched to a .090 Ameriglo black .315 height sight today. It's not much difference from the .100, but I like it. Edited February 17, 2012 by waktasz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky #7 Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 I called Dawson, and they said that I should use the .205" front sight for the G24 length slide as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
