Dawson Precision Adjustable Fiber Optic Sights - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Does anyone own these, or have any experience with them? Would like to get a set for range shooting. My only concern is the fiber optic elements. How long will the elements last with average shooting, and how hard are they to change(and still look good)? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Old School sells them. He speaks very
highly of them. There have been a couple of threads
on forum in the past. Maybe a search will bring a
quick answer.

My fiber is going on two years with over 15,000 rounds through my XDs. I like them.

Old School,

Do you think they are better than the TruGlo Tritium/Fiber optic sights, or no?

They are different. The TFOs are an excellent sight, day and night. The Dawson adjustable sight are more for range use, competition. The adjustment factor lets you tweak the gun enough to hit where you want it to hit. With fixed sights, you don't have that option (easily).

I'll do a range report as soon as my gun comes back from Springer Precision.

It shoots great MTEagle! I shot it this a.m. I like the sights, even with the FO it wasn't that bad for someone who shoots black sights. It hit the mini popper at 50 yards 5 for 5

I've used them (FO blacked out) for a LOT of rounds on my personal competition gun.

Thanks for all the info guys. Is the a website that I can buy these from Oldschool? I'd much rather give my money to a Forum member.

Thanks Again!

Old School sells them, and I can highly recommend Old School. He is great to do business with.

The Dawson sight is fantastic for competition!! I use the fiber front and a target (all black) rear on all of my competition guns.
