Front sight hight ??

DAVID · 09-05-2001, 09:17 PM

Have a 3 7/8 in .30 cal. that is shooting about 8 inches high at 25 yards. This pistol has the standard front sight on it. Does any know the front sight hight of a Swiss or DWM 06 front sight and the standard 1923 front sight? Thanks David. Trying to find the highest front sight.

Do a search on "front sight" and then look through those threads.

I can tell you that P38 front sights will fit the dovetail and they come in several different heights. These sights have a good square front sight picture so if your Luger is a shooter and not a collector you can square up the rear notch from the 'v' that it currently is and make a marked improvement in your sights, but don't try this at home with a matching number collector's item please...

If you choose to keep the rear sight as a V-notch, and use a P38 front sight, once you have the correct height you can thin up the front sight to the same inverted V profile of a Luger front sight...

regards,

John
