JDucros Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Does anyone have an opinion on aftermarket (or factory if Springfield makes them) adjustable night sights for the rear sight? Pros/Cons? I just picked up an XDm 5.25 45acp the other day and absolutely love it! The rear sight is great for daylight but was looking at using this gun in a low light and vehicle training class. Any and all thoughts are welcomed and appreciated. Cheers, -JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Vigilante Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Dawson Precision for adjustables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDucros Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Is this what you're referring to ? http://www.dawsonprecision.com/ProductDetail.jsp?LISTID=21B0000-1094593468 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Vigilante Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Yes, is this not what you're looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDucros Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 I don't think it will fit. The only adjustable sights they offer for the XD/XDm are dovetailed. The slide itself is milled out for the SA Adjustable sight and secured with a roll pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Vigilante Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I own 3 XDm 5.25 9mm pistols. All of them were fitted with Dawson Adjustable sights (not night sights) so this is news to me. Maybe the .45 has a different cut for the rear sight. You might call Dawson tomorrow to verify that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proteus91 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Any new info on this? I am also looking for some night sights for my 5.25 45 acp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tambarika Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 'adjustable' and 'night sight' do not belong together in the same sentence. Night sights are generally tactical and low profile, hence not adjustable. Adjustable sights are generally for competition. Changing the height of the front sight or adjusting the load are the typical ways you match a front and rear sight to achieve an acceptable POI.

Do you have any pics that you can share? I have a 5.25 and would like to change the rear sight to Dawson.

One of mine was broke when I bought it so I bought a springer precision mount and put a Viper Venom on it.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 (edited) Tough, sturdy combat night sights = fixed irons Tuneable gofast sights for gun games = adjustable w/ fiber optic front. Adjustable sights are less than ideal for severe duty so you don't really see them in night sight variations, as was stated above.
