Would anyone out there have a replacement rear sight for a P230? The sight on mine is in need of replacement. Numrich does not have any and in poking around the interwebs, I have not found one. So before I make one, I had thought someone might have one to spare for modest some or?

Max, Beware of anyone contacting you via email without posting in this thread and claiming to be so and so member wanting to sell the stuff you want. If it happens, it's almost a guarantee that they're scammers. Insist that they must also post in this thread. Help SIGforum weed out these scumbags. Granted, a rear sight might not be much money, but we still need to be vigilant. Q | |||

Sorry, I don’t have any. Could have sworn I had a few of various heights. Good luck! __________________ "Owning a handgun doesn't make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician." -Jeff Cooper | |||

230 sights aren’t numbered. The rear has a “+” or a “-“ or no marking (which is standard). And…I found them! I have unmarked sights that measure .215” and I have “+” sights that measure .203”. Email me your address and I’ll put one in the mail next week. __________________ "Owning a handgun doesn't make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician." -Jeff Cooper | |||

Thanks to all who replied! I am uploading some photos I took this evening, not the greatest, but it should give you the idea. I haven't had the pistol long; it has not had a strip down and trip to the ultrasonic cleaner. Looks like some dried up gak and maybe some of the bad orange stuff too, but it functions perfectly and was a bargain as a surplus find. I used my trusty old calipers, I need to upgrade them, but they have gotten me by for many years. As you can see, the rear sight is really buggered. The front is milled out of the slide and is in pretty good shape. The rear has no markings on it of any kind and when I use the depth gauge on my calipers, keeping it as straight and true to level and perpendicular to the base of the dove tail and top of the sight (the left side give me a straighter edge), I consistently get .210 or .211, probably due to the age and inexpensive tool. BTW, that scratch on the slide was there when I got the gun. It's going to be a pocket pistol and will continue to get a patina, but that rear sight bothers me. Thanks for posting the link to CDNN. I had seen that, but it's not the correct sight. Chris, thank you!!! However, when I go to view your public profile, I get a message saying that I do not have the rights to view your profile. If you want to PM me your email, I will email you my address. ![]() ![]() The caliper was laying on the bench, so I wasn't holding it true and I did measure enough times to drive myself half bat-nuts. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks Chris! and thanks to all for helping. -Max ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst.
