IndyLoader Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I believe that Sig usually has #8 and #8 front and rear sight numbers for 9mm and 357sig pistols. However, both my M11-A1 and 225-A1 have the #6 and #8 configuration. Anyone know why? I was looking to get some Trijicon HDs, but for that kind of money, I want the best choice for the gun. I'm guessing at yardage under 25 yards or so, it won't make much difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taadski Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I can't answer your question as to why they put the .170 tall fronts (#6) on those two guns in particular. But the solution is to print the pistols at 20 or 25 yards and correct with the appropriate height adjustments from there. In general a .01 front sight change will result in approximately a 2" change at 25 yards on those guns. Once you figure out what front/rear offset you need, you can start looking at what various vendors offer. I use Dawsons b/c they offer virtually any combination you might want. And if they don't make it, they'll custom built it quickly and pretty inexpensively. Greatly simplifies the process, IME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuckinMS Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Dawson is the way to go for sure as taadski said. They are very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X2 on the plug for Dawson - excellent products, excellent service and very reasonable prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyLoader Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Thanks, all......I wil look at the Dawsons... are they primarily fiber optic? I really like the tritium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeltFed Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I really like the tritium fiber optic sights on the V-TAC. Does anybody have a source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAFO Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Some 9mm guns don't shoot well with 8/8 from the factory, so they put 6/8 on them. It can vary between guns, and there's no guarantee that another 225 or M11 that you pick up would have a 6/8 combo on it. As taadksi suggested, bench the gun and shoot it for accuracy at 25 yards with your ammo. If you like where they are shooting with the 6/8 combo, then order the HDs in that configuration.

Rolex Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I have a 205T 90W from Dawson to correct the 3" low hits with the factory set up- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing that's what you meant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
