I will post an update when I get the new one from Dawson. That will take a little time as they have to make it and I have to install it.

Just wondering if ya got an update on the sights issue,I'm ready to put sights on mine now..just got it back from factory after some jamming issues....man it runs like a singer sewing machine now..may be one of my edc pistols now

Graybeard

I don't have the new ones yet. No complaint against Dawson. They were upfront that it will take some time to make a custom front sight.

Gotit,I know the feeling..I got a new fn high power and no one makes anything for it. Had to wait for sights to be made.....I'm gonna start carrying my 2.0 when my holster gets here

That looks like a good deal for $60.

I thought I'd add a little more detail in my situation with Dawson Precision. So far their customer service has been excellent. A human being answers the phone and actually did the math while I was still talking to him regarding how to correct my issue. The front sight can't be lowered enough to fix the problem. They do keep a small stock of taller rear sights in case of that. Unfortunately, they didn't have the one in stock that I need. It would have been close, but still a little low. They offered me that option, or waiting 6-8 weeks to make the correct rear sight. I chose the latter.

The gentleman I spoke with couldn't have been nicer. He asked a few simple questions to determine if I was correct in my assessment, tactfully and politely, and got right to business on solving the problem. I wouldn't hesitate to do business with them again at this point.

A higher rear sight to go with the shorter tritium front? I really don't like the suppressor height sights now,lol.tjanks for keeping us updated, i will hang out and see how this turns out...hopefully picking up the fn 510 tactical tomorrow,  see how that one compares

Graybeard

The new taller rear sight still won?t be as tall as the suppressor height original. There?s only two ways to raise the point of impact with sights. Lower the front sight or raise the rear. The standard height tritium Dawson front sight can?t be made any lower to meet the point of impact. So they?re making me a slightly taller rear, but still standard height sight. I can?t remember if the first rear sight was.245? or .255?. Acccording to their math, a .300? rear sight will correct the problem. That?s what?s in process right now.

Thanks for keeping us updated Greybeard!! I actually picked up my new FN 510 Tactical this morning, if I could figure out how to post pics on this website, which skill is evading me still, I would throw a post up.

I received the taller replacement rear sight from Dawson Precision last week. Installed it and finally got to the range today. It is absolutely perfect. The folks at Dawson couldn?t have done better. Their math was dead on.

I wanted standard height night sights on this gun and Dawson was the only option I could find. They didn?t just get it right, they nailed it!
