My experience as well. Along with notches not cut center.
You want a notch that's centered, go with 10-8.

Some Beretta 92 models are sold w/ what they call a 'drive the dots' set of sights. You have to cover the bullseye w/ the front sight. Dumbest dang thing I have ever heard of. I had to get taller rear sights for both of our EIIs. All of our pistols are set so POI is right at the top edge of the front sight.
Based on this post I picked up 2 sets of these to replace my Heinie’s. Got them in yesterday and installed this AM. These are PERFECT! I like the thinner fronts, but most importantly, they are the correct height. My RMR’s are zeroed on the X/10 ring at 25yds. I installed these Overwatch Precision “Have Blue” sights and set the rears such that the dot is centered on the front post. Having done that, when aligning the irons, the dot (which is zeroed as mentioned) sits dead on the front sight post blade. Of course I’ll put them on paper to confirm, but this pretty much shows they’ll be good to go. Well done Overwatch Precision! Thanks to @gunslinger2401 for the recommendation!
Of course it’s hard to get the phone to take the pic just right, so forgive the fact that the pic shows the dot about half a blade off.

Glad I could help
Almost a month later and the first occasion I've had to go to the range was today. I ended up with a lane at the indoor range that had very poor lighting, so please excuse the poor shooting, but overall I'm pretty satisfied with where things are hitting. Very much so with the Glocks anyway, which is what I care about the most.
These Overwatch Precision Have Blue sights are giving me exactly the hold I want, which is tops of blades splitting the "X" ring. I installed them and matched them up to the dot on the bench. Put them on paper today and confirmed what I'd hoped. Again, forgive the misses...range lighting.
On the Sig P226, the Heinie Straight Eight's were also high, so I did some math and got a new front from Dawson. Again with the range lighting and also I wrote the wrong score on the target. I was down 7, and my brain made me write "97." Anyway, POA = POI.
