Dawson Precision Rear Sights

[GRV]

I had them talked into a taller rear sight, deeper notch, and 100% serrations. I hate the way they do serrations.

My actual wish list is:

- Glock
- .090" front .115" rear, or .100" front .125" rear. Fall back to .105" front .125" rear if necessary.
- Charger rear, but rear face angled back and sharper edges like Competiton rear. Keep corners from Charger rear or slightly sharper (slight radius, but no chamfer).
- Uninterrupted serrations on rear.
- Deeper serrations on front.

Any idea how much of that is negotiable?

ETA: I'd also be interested in trying a Patridge or flat front profile, but it seems they only do ramped for Glock.

That's basically the same thing I spec'd out minus the charger. I wanted the face straight up and down too.


I started by calling them and telling them how much I loved their sights, had them on everything, greatest in the whole world.. then told them what's really really wanted, then told them nothing exists like that. THEN tell them you'll pay ANUTHING lol.

I need to get on the phone with them. I've only emailed them so far.

When did you place your order, and do you have pictures of the finished product?

Also, is this for a Glock?

Are you running a Glock?

Dude. Why such hostility?

lol sorry, I just went back and rewatched your slow-mo recoil video and saw the Sig

(I'm assuming you're joking; if not, I'm legitimately sorry. I was sincerely asking because I'm interested in trying those dimensions on a Glock 17.)

[taadski]

Yes. Joking.

FWIW, the difference between the .090 and the .100 is pretty minor. I'd save your pennies. I go back and forth (different guns) and find them both very usable.

Indeed, but I'm dealing with the massive .105!

Yea, I was content to leave it alone after Dawson's spiel, but if it's actually available..... Really it's just an aesthetic thing I'm interested in. Occasionally I'll see photos of sight pictures online that have a certain intangible satisfying appearance that I think comes from both the front and rear being smaller, but my sights in real life don't quite evoke the same feeling. I'd be interested in seeing the same light bar ratio but just the whole notch and post smaller, still sitting within the same overall sized rear.

Separately, I'd like just a tiny bit more light bar ratio than the .105/.125, without going to a bigger rear notch, and I did some math which confirmed my general feelings that a 0.090/.115 or 0.100/0.125 would probably be what I'm looking for. There are a couple of interesting metrics that those fit into that the .105/.125 just misses for my arms holding a G17. I think I'd probably be happy with the .105/.125 ratio on a G34.


I know I'm splitting hairs......but you just had to get me started

I've always wondered why Dawson doesn't just "finish" the serrations on their rear sights. That doesn't make a ton of sense to me.

Ditto... There have been other details I've taken their side on after learning the reason. Dawson's guys are really wise when it comes to sights....

Ok....so do you care to share the reasoning behind that move? I'm genuinely curious as I've never seen anyone do that before.
