ShootEm Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I'd like to hear about people's experience co-witnessing sights on a Glock 34 MOS with a DeltaPoint Pro. Are you using Dawson Precision Co-Witness sights? How well does it work? I shot my first match with a red dot today. My eye kept going to my original red fiber optic front sight, so I removed it mid-match and started wondering about getting co-witness sights. I know the open guys don't bother.

tyman1876 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Are the Dawson's tall enough? I know the deltapoint sits to high to cowitness with most suppressor sights. I know ameriglo makes blacked out ones that sit just high enough to cowitness over the body of the optic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) If it's a dedicated carry Optics competition gun? Pull the sights off. Done. Edited May 2, 2017 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpaw Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Dawson will make custom height sights if you call them. I'm not sure if their regular MOS sights are tall enough, but if not they could probably make a set for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's my question - to co-witness or not. I know there are differing opinions on this. Making the recent transition from iron sights to carry optic, I was wondering if co-witness sights would help me. I'm sure down the road it won't matter.

ShootEm Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 I actually emailed Dawson today and they said they do make co-witness sights for the DeltaPoint Pro. Quote from Dawson: "You will want the RTS/STS Glock sights with a .495 tall rear and .485 tall front, for the delta point." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your original post kind of answered it for you. I think the co-witness sights are just going to distract more than the lower ones did.

Cobra73 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Dawson makes 2 versions of the MOS sights theres one for trijicon/vortex that are .395 tall, the delta point sights are slightly higher I think .410. I have the .395 still deciding on an optic, leaning towards the rmr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x45 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Don't really understand this whole co-witness thing. Been running Open Division for 30 years without it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been running Open Division for 30 years without it... I just got a P320 RX which is already co-witnessed, and I'm starting to wonder the same thing. I'm trying to shoot at the dot, not the front sight, which is blurry anyway with my monovision. However, I can see the argument of having it as a backup should the optic fail, especially on a slide-mounted optic where co-witnessing a sight isn't always a hassle.

Al Capizzo Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Just by coincidence, I milled a G35 slide for a JPoint dot and it has a notch in the rear which lines up with my front sight. However, I have never once, ever, actually used it. Today's dots a very reliable, just change the battery once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
