I do not care for the factory sights on my P9. I put meprolites on my MK9 before trading it, and I definately prefered the night sights and the "three dot" picture.

The big dot front seems better still, but the rear is still "dot the I".

I am wondering if the big dot, if put onto the P9, would line up correctly with the Novak rear offered at kahr.com? WOuld I be able to see the target at all with all that sight in the way?

What I really want is one of the fiber optic / NS combo sights to be made for the kahrs, but I'm tired of waiting.

I wish Novak had a P380 rear sight. I love the look of them.

IMO it will line up Ok, it is all about sight picture iwth the xs big dot. They ain't target sights, so u see the front sight clearly and the rest will fall in place. In a SHTF situation ur sur enot gonna be lining up the two sights. at best see that front wight which that bog dot just grabs ur eyebalss so fast, and u willdo fine. Practice close at 7 yards and get good and fast with POA shooting with the big dot and u groups will blow ur mind. U really don't need to see that rear sight at night time shooting, maybe for range use u might want to line um up but in a SHTF situation, that front sight is going to save ur life,not the back sight. Just sayin..

Thanks, I may look at the "white dot" novak (no tritium) or even the all black novak instead. They're cheaper.

Have you checked out the options available by dawson precision? They have fiber optic front sights, rear sights, night sights, and plain black available for the Kahrs. And you can buy either a full set or front/rear only. You could mix and match however you want with them, and Dawson has outstanding craftsmanship on their products.

For rear sight only:

For front sight only:

Just choose a subcategory on either page and take a look at the options: Plain black, Fiber optic, or tritium NS.
