Fulcrum Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I have two identical XDM 5.25'' in 9mm. Both of them have aftermarket barrels. Recently I installed adjustable rear + front sights (from Dawson) on one of them. After some adjustments, I noticed that at 25 yards group shooting, I would hit high right but at 10 yards El Prez/Blake drills they are spot on. I eliminated human factor by shooting the other XDM with fixed rear. The POI there are identical whether 25 yards group shooting or 10 yards fast shooting. This puzzles me. It seems as if the Dawson sights move while I shoot fast... I checked and made sure they are secure and no movement at all. Now I don't know if I should adjust the sights to have spot on POI at 25 yards (which means I will be shooting low at 10 yards at speed), or should I leave it so I have dead on POI at speed shooting 10 yards (but I would hit high at long distance). Anybody has similar experience before? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapribek Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 No, sorry! I have Dawson sights on my .40 XD, sighted in at around 15 yards & they're right on. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulcrum Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 For USPSA/IDPA, do you guys zero at 15, 20 or 25 yards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balakay Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I have these sights on a Glock34.. Rock solid without issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racingjoe27 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 The 5.25 comes with an adjustable rear and Dawson doesn't make a replacement for the 5.25 rear nor does a 5.25 have a fixed sight... Dawson's are rock solid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrispies Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I put Dawsons on my 1911 and found that it took a few hundred rounds for the springs to settle in. I had to re-adjust them multiple times, primarilly for elevation, but after about 400 rounds (probably less, actually) they are rock solid. My gunsmith says this common.
