GT,
a guy that needs and wants a tall sight is not using it to "restore" to the original outline or appearance. They want it to shoot to point of am, so IMO, it is ok for the sight blade to be different in profile.

One can't have it both ways, original height= original appearance; shoot to point of aim= taller sight and slightly different apearance. JMHO.

What did the Germans do? They were targeting for 100 meters( and minute of man ) IIRC; so it was less of an "issue".

Hi Don and all.... a good example is the Mauser parabellum offering in the 70's.. the sight is significantly taller, I'd say approx. .275" O.A.H and it has a drastically different look than the original war time P.08?.. My concern it what the initial design will stand? As they are NOT going to make separate from scratch sights for all three or four heights desired?... we will see?... best to all, til...lat'r...GT...
