Suppressor height front sight for P320???
I bought an M17 a couple weeks ago and mounted a DPP for it with the Leupold rear iron sight.

I need a front suppressor sight, but can only seem to find them in full sets. Ideally I'd like solid black but could do contrast. Any leads on what I need?

Ameriglo has them available as front sights only but they are tritium.

Edit. They also have an all steel one.

I assume suppressor height is the 0.400" one?

Dawson precision is the only real good answer here. They make every height/width you could want.

It would be considered a "Tall" suppressor sight. 0.350 would be a "standard" suppressor height sight. Nice thing is you can grind it down to fit your needs.

My P320 X-Five came with a Dawson precision front sight and I hate it. I'm use to a combat sight and the Dawson one is far too narrow for my liking. I'm actually working on replacing it now.

I purchased an Ameriglo set for my SP2022 for use with my Griffin Revolution .45 suppressor. The set came with the .350" front, which impacted about 2-3 inches high at 10 yards. I then ordered the .390" front, which brought it down where POA and POI were about the same. YMMV.

You can get the same sight, but wider, they make them in all heights and widths. Wink

I really need to know what height I need and work from there.

I've got an email into Leupold to see if they have any idea. But I can't get anything from SIG

Negative. Their selection of .140 wide sights (standard width of a combat sight) for the P320 is extremely limited. As a matter of fact it is so limited they only offer it in 1 height. I'm well aware of what they offer as I looked into it.

From leupold:

quote:
Hey Joe,
Once the sight is mounted, you will need to measure from the top of the slide up to the bottom of the window. Once you get that measurement you will need to add approx .125" to get your overall front sight height.

Can't find my calipers...

Update: Borrowed some calipers. From the top of the slide to the bottom of the window is 0.300". So according to Leupold it should be 0.425"

What's the height of a standard Sig Suppressor sight?
