Unflappable Enginerd
| Depends on the caliber of your P229. The existing sights should be numbered. From the TGS FAQ: https://www.topgunsupply.com/faq.htmlquote: If your gun is shooting well with what is on it, you should replace them with the same sight height numbers. A good light and magnifying glass can help to find the numbers on your sights. The dovetail cuts are all the same on standard P series (not P230/232) and SIGPRO models. If all else fails, SIG SAUER publishes a standard.
357SIG or 9mm will use a #8 front and #8 rear
40S&W and .45ACP will use a #6 front and #8 rear
We consider this a rule of thumb because we have seen all kinds of different sight height combinations. It is best to find the numbers on your current sights.

| You might post in the classifieds. I suspect you’ll find some folks who have replaced contrast sights on purchased CPO Sig’s and they’d likely sell them to you for a minor amount.
But, some of us greatly prefer the VS style. If you’re going to stay with contrast-type sights (vs illuminated), the VS sight picture can be faster and more accurate in the context of combat-style sights.
Rear dots make sense to me for illuminated sights in dark conditions. But I think they are slow and unnecessary in daylight. |
