Competition Sight Choices

[jetfire]

I've pretty much standardized on Sevigny Competition sights for all my semi-auto pistols. Revolvers are another story since good aftermarket sights are a little bit more difficult to come by than autos.

Do you modify, or try to get close to the same sight picture on your revolvers as your semi guns? Or do you just treat it as a different animal?

I used to, but now I pretty much just deal with it. I'll paint out any white outline on the rear sight and change the front post to an all black factory post, but that's about it.

I've tried every sight there is and came back to the Sevigny's. I use the wide .150 rear sight and when i sight in my pistol it's usually off so i do the Dawson formula and order a new front sight from them but i get the .125 wide front. I like the wide Sevigny rear for quick target acquisition but found that there was too much distance with the .115 wide front so i went with the .125 wide front and it closed the gap to a perfect sight picture and the wider front sight doesnt cover up the targets.

That sounds like a good combo.

I have a .110 width front on my .45 and it seems a bit too small and the smaller fiber doesn't glow quite as bright at the .125. I was thinking about the .155 (.230 height) rear with a .125 FO front. The Dawson website says the larger rears are for poor eyesight. My eye sight is fine, so I'm still hesitant to pull the trigger.

What is the preferred sight width ration from front to rear for folks with good vision?

I'd call em up. But if i was going to get the Dawsons and my next sights i will try them i will probably get the 250T/.145N Rear Sight and
then i will get the .235T X .125W Front Fiber Optic front. That should be close so when you sight in your pistol if you need to swap it Dawson
will swap the front sight no charge. My Sevigny's are a .150 wide and getting a .145 wide would be perfect. So then you got a .145W rear
with a .125W Front. It's a great sight picture. The .115W fronts were just too narrow. JMO

I am actually just now trying out a (Dawson) FO front sight on my practice/competition gun. So my opinion of it is not formed yet.

But my overall favorite sights for competition - for me that's USPSA and GSSF - are Ameriglo Defoors (fully black.)

I do not find fully black sights easier to see. I do find them to force me to be better and more disciplined at seeing them. I also think they rope me into paying attention to the most precise parts of the sight picture: the top edges and the light bars.

Do you still use the Defoors a few years later?

I have stuck with the Dawsons, and like them a bit better because of the serrations and slimmer dimensions.

Thanks

I have Defoors and am considering Dawsons, but just don't know if I want a fiber optic or not. Leaning toward the Charger. Dawson folks are great and you can get them in essentially any width front and rear one desires. Then I look at the entire package and the Defoors give me the front and rear widths I want at essentially half the price if I just go black sights.

I run a .90 front with green fiber pretty sexy. Tight rears too, not sure but think .120
