Dawson precision sights- Black rear and front optic
« on: May 11, 2018, 09:12:14 PM »
Have decided to go with these on my new P-01. I am not at all knowledgeable about installing sights. Should my gun smith be able to install these properly....he has a lot of pushers and lots of work. the guy with Dawson said something about using Locktite....I was driving and could not make notes.....maybe he knows about this, but can someone help me just in case

They are pretty easy to install. You will have to loctite the screws. If the gunsmith is competent it should not be a problem.

Easy enough but you need tools. The front sight required a bit of filing to fit my 75BD (but not my P-01) and used a polymer hammer with supplied punch to get into the slot. I always use a 2mm drill bit to ensure the front sight pin will have clearance on the bottom if the front pin slot.

The rear sights are in there good and require a vise to hold the slide steady--I use felt or other protective materials. A punch and hammer are required with a bit of muscle. Again, I cut a small square if cloth or felt to protect the surface.

Putting in the rear sight may require fitting with a file and 220 grit sand paper. It needs to be snug so go slow and test fit. Once the   end of the dovetail can fit, hammer it in. You may have to back out, fike, and hamner again.

I use headband style magnifiers to closely monitor how far in the rear sight goes in any eyeball against the ridges in top of the slide to "zero". So far all my poa/poi have been dead on at 10 yards.

60 is old? I thought it was the new 30.

My 75BD has a red FO and black EZ rear sight.  My P-01 has red front and green rear FO. I am fitting my SP-01 Tactical with the same set as on the 75BD...

You are right about 60- try age 75....but thankfully I am in good shape and go to gym 6 days a week and shoot about 5 days.

the guy with Dawson said they found older guys liked the green best, but not always. Just wondered if anyone had experience with this-Black rear and red or green fiber optic front sights.
