Fiber Sight Advice

Recommended Posts

After a pile of years of gun ownership, I recently obtained my *first* Glock . . . well, not really a Glock, but a DIY pistol on a Polymer80 frame . . . got to say I like it *way* better than I thought.

I'm looking to mount the brightest fiber optic sights I can get and am looking for suggestions.  I built it up using a Brownells slide with an RMR cut.  Eventually I will want to try a Holosun 507C.  So I could use recommendations for "suppressor height" fiber optic sights too.

Hello,

     The Brownells slide does not need a mounting plate like the Glock MOS pistols. The info I have is that an RMR would use a 0.270 tall rear sight, the Holosun 507C is a little taller than the RMR, so it would need a 0.280 tall rear sight. For some reason the 0.280 tall rear sight, SKU 018-699, is not available on the website. You would need a 0.260 tall front sight. If you want to just order from the website, you could use either a 0.270 tall rear ( you would not be able to see all of the rear sight notch ) or use a 0.305 tall rear sight ( it would stick up a little more than needed ).

I've been looking at the Dawson MOS set.  But I don't know if they are high enough for the Holosun.

Sorry for the late reply, but I finally got the funds, the parts, and the time . . . the guys at Dawson said the base of the Holosun 507 is a little taller than the Trijicon RMR.  They also said the Brownells slide is cut a little deeper than the Glock MOS slide and it's adapter plate.  I figured it would all even out and ordered their "Dawson Precision Glock MOS Fixed Co-Witness Sight Set (For Trijicon RMR and similar red dot scopes)".  It worked out really well.  Nice co-witness in the lower third.

 

I'm declaring victory!  Of course, YMMV.
