98sr20ve Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I like a wide rear notch and a narrow front. I figure I would go with the .100 fiber front. I don't know if the Dawson comes in different rear widths and I am not stuck with only Dawson. Also, don't know why I would choose the .285 over the .300 front. Only sights I have used on a glock (other then stock) where these weird looking adjustable that stuck out past the rear of the slide about 1/4 inch. I do kinda wonder what that sight was as I loved the sight picture. Finally, were is a good place to buy? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Loves2Shoot Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Dawson sells their products www.dawsonprecision.com 017-012 for the rear 019-004 for the front for the adjustable sights, the fixed sight come in .115 or a wider rear .125. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramas Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 FO front .100X .285 and .300 goes with DP adjustible rear sight. I have DP adjustible and FO front in .100X .300 and like this setup very mutch. Taller front sight gives me very good sight picture. Very happy wit this setup.

Jman Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I like a wide rear notch and a narrow front. Steve, So do I. Went through countless combinations. Thankfully someone here referred me to Warren Tactical, Sevigny Competition series. Excellent. http://www.warrentactical.com/sights.htm Jim M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 That is the sight picture I want. But I would prefer the adjustable rear. They're called "Awesome Dawson" for good reason. Great product(s). Form follows function for sure. But, IMHO that adjustable unit is just ffffugly i'm jus sayin. Jim M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catfish Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 If you go to Dawson's website, open up their online catalog that was just printed/published. It's got a "sight picker" page or two to help you decide what sights you want. http://www.dawsonprecision.com/WSWrapper.j...age=Catalog.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eerw Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 order straight from Dawson..fast shipping..good customer service if needed.. I ran the adj and the .105 FO front on my G34...and the fixed rear .125 rear notch and the .105 plain front on a G22. both gave clean crisp sight pictures that were easy to track...

SRT Driver Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Dawson sights are great. Order directly through them. I went with the .300 high front. It gives you a bit more adjustment if you change loads and need to come down a few clicks. With 125's and 1100 fps I had 1 or 2 clicks of down available with the .285 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hello: If you like a wider rear notch file it out wider or mill it wider. I just milled the front sight down thinner and that worked for me. The rear notch on the Dawson is about the same as a Bo-Mar for a 1911. I wish Caspian made a thin front sight for a Glock say 0.070 wide. Hint,hint. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
