3rd gen front sight help.

jscott · Sep 1, 2018

72 yr old eyes having trouble with the front sight on my EDC 3906. Tried all types of paint and markers with no luck. Thinking of replacing with a fiber optic, which I love on my new Colt Competition 1911. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Very nice high quality sights. Be sure to select the blade height closest to the factory sight now on your pistol.

They will require a bit of careful hand fitting same as any other dovetail base sight.

Those fiber optics really do 'pop' in daylight. you may even consider blacking out your backsight to 'un-clutter' your sight picture.

Cheers

What Bill said above. While I don't have Dawson's on my 3906, I have fitted several fiber optic fronts on some of my 5906's, TSW. Makes a night and day difference. Same for blacking out the rears, even though I haven't yet. Use Dawsons/Warren fiber optics on ALL my handguns; S&W, Glocks, H&K....first rate quality and drastic improvement in shoot-ability!
