midvalleyshooter Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 What height front sight has your X5 shooting POA = POI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillGarlandJr Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) The rear is adjustable, so you don't have to nail the front sight height right on, however, I and some others have gone with a .205 tall front, which for me with 124/125 gr bullets allows me to run the rear sight closer to the bottom of its travel.

sfinney Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 +1 Dawson .205 / .090 wide works great. Stock is .215 / .090. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliYeti Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 .205 worked great for me. Kinda ridiculious to me that they made the front sight to work with a Romoeo optic mainly but don't include it with the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCSigCZ Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 To let Sig know they goofed up, I called them and asked to order the shorter front sight. I thought that that they probably did not have one, however, I wanted to let the CSR I spoke with know that there really is a market for one because so many of us do not like how we must take the rear sight all the way to the top of its adjustment to have POA=POI. Alas, I was correct and he said there is no such sight. Thank you guys for sharing the Dawson front sight height that is needed. On an unrelated note: why, on this entire forum only, does the forum turn words I type into hyperlinks? It did it twice above. I'm a member of several forums and use the same iPad to view and make posts on all of them and only the BE forum does that. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed the same thing for a while now. I asked about it in the Report Bugs, Feedback section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddc Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 The forum has a "feature" that searches posts for possible interest in a product and if it finds one it will create a hot link to a web site (such as Brownell's) which may have that product or some such nonsense. I don't think it works very well at all. I find it irritating and after I visited several sights and realized it was a waste of time I now just try to ignore it.

DCSigCZ Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Thank you both for the insight on the auto hyperlink, I understand. I agree it did not work well because it took me to some very odd websites. I did not mean to hijack this thread - it is a technically helpful one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigarmsp226 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Dawson .205 for me also......Allowed me to reset my rear sight up 6 or 7 clicks.. Before replacing the my X5 was shooting 5” low. Now it is hitting right where it is suppose to hit....Best $35.00 I ever spent.....Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
