Dawson Front Sight Question


Rockclimbg

Recommended Posts

I would like to get a thin (.100) Dawson Front sight, however, does that mean I'd have to switch out my rear sight as well? I currently have Meprolight Night Sights.

If I do, what rear sight would be compatable with the Dawson's Front Sight?

P.S. The gun is a Glock 35 with meps.

Thanks.

From their web site:

Available in three sizes: NOVAK- blade is .125" wide and .160" tall, and works best with the Glock factory rear sight or a Novak's rear sight ; HEINIE- blade is either .105" or .125" wide and .225" tall, and works best with a Heinie rear sight; BO-MAR- blade is either .100" or .125" wide and .285" tall, and works best with a Bo-Mar rear sight.

It looks like to stay with the factory rear you'll use the "Novak - .125 wide by .160 tall front blade.

Thanks. I missed the part about works best with factory sight, but, that really didn't expressly address my question about the Glock 34 which has a little extra barrel length. So, I called them today to see what sight would fit best and the above was the eventual correct answer. I ordered the one they recommended for the 34, in .100 width. They callled me back later with the bad news that the sight that fit only came in .125 :(

I put the whole Dawson set on my G34 with an optic front .100, very easy to install ( don't forget the loctite ) great setup. I like the sight picture. If you don't like the optic just use a permanent marker. One complaint, the corners of the sights are too sharp, they will catch on clothing etc.
