Does anybody have Dawson night sight's on their guns? I want to order just the front sight for my PM9 and I wonder how you'll like them. I removed the sight yesterday, I kept hearing that they were hard to get off and I was curious so I got a flat screw driver wide enough to to go through and deburr the front and also took any kind of bevel it had, then I taped the front with tape (masking) and placed:israel: the screw driver on the dovetail slide not the post and it took a couple of solid blow and away it came, now I need to make a decission as what night sights to get, If Dawson's or Meprolite, any input as always is greatly appreciated.
I have the trijicon on the CW and I don't like them during the day time, at night they're fine though. :7:

The larger Mepros sights are easier for me to see in daylight. The white tube is larger on Mepro than the Trijicon.

Did your PM9 have a three dot set up or a post and dot set up? If it's post and dot get an XS Big Dot for the front sight.

I have gone to XS Big Dots on all of my guns, easy to see.

I have Meprolights on my Glock. I've had them for about ten years and they're still going strong.

Thanks guys for the input and the great pics, The reason I was asking about Dawson's is because they sell the front without the rear, which it's all I want for $45.00 +s/h. I believe I've read in here that someone knows of them and if it has a brighter white outline that would be the ticket. If I don't hear from someone that has them I will def be going for some mepros.

XS will also sell you just the front or rear, as seen in my post above on my Glock, I only went with the front.
