I put a Dawson on my 3914. It came with the "pusher" tool and a few different colors.
It was a few years ago- front sight only.

Thanks was it the 5906 sight.................. still listed? Do you remember the height?

I'll check and see if I still have the paperwork. I can't remember.

I'm bumping this post to the top again , hoping for some more info on the topic. With warm weather coming, I'll be shifting back to carrying my 3913. As I get older my eyes are having a harder time picking up the sights on the 3913. I too would like to have a fiber optic front sight installed as well as a new rear. Has anyone sent their slide to Novaks ? I see they list the sights, however the front sight is back ordered.

not fiber optics but front and rear have tritium inserts....the XS 24/7 Big Dots will never be confused with target sights but work well for a defensive pistol................ with a front sight Helen Keller could see

BAM, sorry, but I have failed you. I don't have the receipt, so I can't say for sure that they are the same, or the height.
I may be too set in my ways but, while you can pick up the FO pretty quick, I'm not sure it's worth changing. I guess you have to try it to decide.
Doing it over again, I'd just leave them stock.

I put a Dawson FO on my 6906 (and 2.0 Shield) for the same reason....old eyes. And I'm afraid I didn't keep the receipt either.

Numrich has 5906 front Night Sight height 0.239 and 0.E front sight 0.229 Someone correct me if needed pistol shoots low you want a lower sight ,also depends on what grain ammo. 147 grain hits really low with my pistol and aim high, hold center with 115 and 124 gr

Novak sights ( Novak Designs Inc. - Main Page) puts out a fiber optic sight. I have a 4046 TSW and have been looking for FO's. Just got a reply from them today. If you go on their sight search by "handgun model" it will take you to a sub directory. Look under "3rd generation" and they'll be there. Rear is about 50.00 and the front is 42.00

The top portion of my sight on a 4006 TSW is .125 That's not including the dovetail base. I believe on Dawson's that's how they list them is the top portion.
