Sight update on my old duty gun.

[Scott Tschirhart]

Toward the end of my law enforcement career and on occasions that I get called up, I carried a Les Baer gun that is flawless in almost every way.

BUT the sights were always too sharp and somewhat difficult to see.

I went by Dawson Precision a couple of weeks ago in my way to a speaking engagement and dropped off the slide.

It came back today with a radiused rear sight with a wider notch and a low profile but easy to see tritium front sight. I can see these quite well. Good people to do business with.

I'm having the same 'old eyes' issues.

So far the Marble's rear (rifle) sight seems to be coming to the rescue - fast and easy to acquire even in low light (and easy-peasy with a light at night).
The only issue is fitting to the rear dovetail, as pistols are anything but standard. Plus you'll need a front sight somewhere between 'regular' and 'suppressor height'.

Definitely works better for me than the popular 'red dot' sights - partly because I can't see the dot UNTIL the sight is aligned - for me, the whole point is to use the dot TO align the sights, which is possible with the Marble's rear and fiberoptic front, as you see the dot right-off, long before things are fully aligned.

Nice looking, Scott!

Nice. I like those. I don't think I've heard of Dawson before.

Dawson Precision is a little off the beaten track but they make great sights and a lot of other shooting related stuff.
