Mike9250 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I currently have Warren Sevigny sights on my G34 with the .115 width FO front sight. I was thinking about switching to a plain black front, but I'm not sure if I should stick with the .115 or maybe try the .125? Has anyone used both, and if so which do you prefer?

nwhpfan Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Yes, Personally I like a little daylight between the front sights as seen through the rear so the skinnier blade is better for me. I think it comes down to preference. Edited February 17, 2016 by nwhpfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtimelarry Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 on my Glock 34 i have a .115 and on my Glock 17 i have a .105 I've tried a .125 on my Glock 34 a while back and it covered too much of the target like small poppers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x45 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I run a rear Heine wide cut to .180" on a .125" on a G17, works for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polymer Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I hated the .125 when i had them, even with a wider rear notch. Especially with black front and black rear, i much liked a little more daylight in between the sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike9250 Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Thanks. I'll probably stick with the .115 then. i was thinking with the .150 rear notch and the long sight radius of the 34 that maybe the .115 was a little too narrow. I like the having some light on either side, but I was also thinking the .125 might tighten things up and improve my accuracy. I probably just need more practice.

If you want to tighten things up, i would go with slightly narrower rear over wider front. Again, it's all preference. Eyesight, arm length, slide length, etc all play a factor.

Cuz Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Sevigny makes a 0.130 wide rear notch which will tighten things up nicely. I run that with a Dawson 0.125" front fiber optic sight. I really like that combo on my Glock 34.

Kiwi2209 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) I changed from the FO front to the plain black front, Warren competition, Glock 34 - pretty sure it is the 0.115 front and my scores have improved a lot since, but depends on the games you play?

Mike9250 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 I'm shooting mostly 3 Gun. I like the FO, but I think at speed I have a tendency to aim with the FO instead of using the top of the front sight.

bigtimelarry Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 it's all personal preference.. The best in the world use Red Fiber Optic and also some black on black.. Sevigny uses all black, leatham, vogel & Nils use red fiber optic.. There is no right or wrong it's just whatever works for you.. I use Green F/O. I tried all black and i was all over the place, didn't work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashAndPoof Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Anyone know what the Glock shooting team members use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dranged Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I've run the Warren .115 for a year and am going to Dawson .105 front with tighter rear notch as well to tighten up my 34 a little. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtimelarry Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Shane Coley uses Red Fiber optic and when Eusebio ran a Glock he used a Red Fiber Optic too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxil343 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I've got the Dawson adjustable rear and fiber front on my 34. Rear has a .125 notch and front is a .100. The thin front sight makes longer shots easier as it leaves more of the target uncovered. And paired with the narrower rear notch accuracy is great. There is quite a bit of daylight between the front and rear sights so they're easy to acquire quickly. Best sights I've used and I've tried just about all of them...

JWard79 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I run a .115 rear with a .105 front from Dawson. I can hand this setup to anyone and they can place solid hit on targets out to 25. Larger sight widths may give the appearance of a faster transition, but also allow for a greater margin of error when you fire the shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarilynMonbro Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I like the .115 better for sure, but once I tried .100 then I switched three of my CZs over to .100. My Glock still uses .115 but I haven't shot it much lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooster Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 TTI, and the new Vogel sights split the difference with .117 wide fronts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtimelarry Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 It also depends on the sight radius of the Gun. I keep .115 on my Glock 34 & .105 on my Glock 17.. 99 % of the time Vogel shoots either a Glock 34 or 24.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
want2race Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I'm the odd one out. I like a sliver of light on both sides of the front sight. Otherwise the front sight wanders in the rear notch. At speed, what looks centered, isn't. I spend too much time figuring out if it's centered or not. I tried narrow front, saw an immediate drop in points. Many more charlies. I switched to black front last year. Still testing. For widths, with a .115 bomar I'll run a .110 front. For .125 rear notch I'll use a .115 or .120 depending on sight radius. If I can see the front sight through the rear notch, I know it's centered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
