Need recommendations for K9 front sight (older model)

[JGIORD]

I need some help in finding the correct model for the front sight of an older model K9. It has night sights currently but they are getting dim and my old eyes are having a difficult time picking up the front sight, especially against a darker background.

My model is an older version and it seems that all the sights I find are for the newer dovetail.

Thanks for the help

+1 Dawson Precision. You can choose from flat black, fiber optic, or night sights (that fit the old style slide). I checked the Kahr website and didn't see the original Trijicon's either. If Trijicons are what you want, it would probably be worth a call to the Kahr sales dept. They did have Big Dots on there ($120 for the set).

Good luck.

If they are Trijicons, as my K9 (1998 vintage) were, Trijicon will re-lamp them for a modest fee. After 12 years... the half-life of GREEN Tritium, mine were getting harder to acquire so I contacted Trijicon, having heard about their re-lamping program... for their sights only. I sent my slide to them via USPS Priority Mail and Trijicon re-lamped all three dots and returned the slide with like new sights for $54 total!

Here's one of my original posts about this re-lamping:

I like the Williams Fire-sights you can mix front/rear colors, nice people fast delivery and well priced!
