Didn't know these existed, thanks for the link. (I do find it interesting that they show the rear sights below the pistols with 2 dots but the ones on the pistol have no dots on the rear sights). First thing I do with mine is blacken out the rear dots.

They just came out with them.

They make there sights blank, with FO and with Tritium, so that's what in the lower pictures.

What's the height for the standard CORE sights? The tallest they sell?

The co-witness sights would be the replacement for the stock sights.

Danno is the man. Just thought I'd offer this in case it helps clarify anything for anyone.

The Dawson precision website states the suppressor height sights will only fit on the CORE model. I was under the impression the dovetails were the same as the standard model. Can anyone with experience shed some light in this?

I'd like to put these sights on a standard model with my RMR.

Do you like the blacked out back sights? I have a rifle like that and it makes it hard to line up when it is dark.
I am getting a led rds for my core and was thinking of keeping the back sights white but adding a green fiber optic on front. I was thinking a red fiber optic with the red dot might make it too confusing to line up. I really have no idea of what I am talking about so I am asking your opinion.

What do you think the best sight options are for a core that has rds?

Which sights?

The front should be the same dovetail cut as the regular M&P. The rear is CORE specific.

If you have a regular M&P and had it cut for the RMR, you have to find out what sight cut they used for the rear iron sight. Before the CORE was released, most cut the slide for Glock suppressor sights.

I like black rear sights with a fiber front. 10-8 has CORE sights on the project list, but no time frame yet.

Did you install yourself or have a gunsmith do it? Curious how hard or easy they are to install.
