    This. The counter-bored face of Dawson’s fiber fronts are what keep the fiber looking nice and tight. Their sets are generally pretty good, but I’ve been finding their rear notches might be a little tight for my preferences lately, so I might play with that a bit.

    They do make Ruger front sights though. I would recommend at least giving them a look.

    I've had the same experience as Bill with the Dawson FO on a Kahr pistol that it is mounted on. Works wel for me.

    I have Dawson carry sights on 2 Glock pistols, and when the tritium in them dies, they are getting replaced with the same Dawson carry sights. I do like Dawson sights.

    However, one of the two fiber optics that shot incredibly high despite being very close in height to the factory sight was a Dawson sight for a Browning Buck Mark.

    Same here. I find FOs or any multi-color front sight a distraction to precision shooting.

    My preferred sight picture is a plain ol black Patridge post on a 6.5" S&W. For my 4" field revolvers, I'm looking for a solid-color post about 1/10" wide.
