So what options are there for night sights on my CM9? Is it just the Trijicons on the Kahr website and the newly released XS big dots? Are there any options I'm missing?

besides what GB posted, XS is now offering sights for the cm, and cw series. Their big ddot is awesome, and u can buy it directr from Xs even and if it was my cw or cm, I would just order the front big dot for about $60 and installit yourself. Might take u 5 minutes to do so. No smitty required and ur good to go. Tome that xs big dot just grabs ur eyeballs and the back sight seems to fall right in place to, but IMO not needed in the night sight stuff..

I'd like to fit a TruGlo TFO on the front of my CM9. I had them on my 238 Equinox and loved how bright they were day or night. It really draws your attention to the front sight. I was thinking about having a smith machine the front for a SIG #8 sight when I send it in for a melt job. I just have to find some measurements to make sure it's the right height.

Ok, I've looked over the options, and I'm wondering how tall the Trijicon and XS sights are. I tend to shoot low, so if the Dawsons are shorter, they're the winner for me. Unfortunately, Dawson is the only one that states the height, so I'm hoping for some help from the hive mind.

ETA: Upon further reading, it appears that Dawson is just reselling the Trijicon. Is that the case?

They are probably using Trijicon tritium capsules, but the sights are different from the tritium sights that Kahr offers.

Interesting, so can anybody tell me what the height of the Trijicon branded one that Kahr sells is?

Thank you Jocko! I did not know you could order the front sight only from XS. After looking at past topics I was somewhat apprehensive about installing it myself, I believe some people have had theirs fall out or come out of alignment, but worst case I'll take it to my local gunsmith or ship it to XS for installation. Ill make sure to allow more than ample time to let the loctite dry.

Quick question - The XS sights are made of metal (steel?), correct?
