naturally, tis only a theoretical line of sight calculation. 9mm drops like a rock past 50yds in reality.

Hah! 9mm does indeed drop exactly like a rock! But then again, so does every other caliber! Galileo demonstrated as such around 1590. Velocity is the only variable in this case.

I reckon the comment on dropping like a rock after 50 yds, suggests that 50yds might be considered a maximum yardage for iron sight height for the Luger. That is really all was intended.

I thought your comment on the single tall height sight was a good one; offers something to everyone with minimum outlay. One have to consider such an offering being in competition with the 98 sight or a guy with tooling to add metal and rework.

Speed of course is one of the parameters. I agree. but getting off track some here. I have no doubt that GT will think it all out; he is a contributor.

Hi Rick, hey, I value, and accept, your input without hesitation... you have that, " been there done that" experience that is impossible to get anywhere else.... If you say something, you can bet your butt, I'm listening!

I still have a lot to learn, and i'm not going to get there with out help from my forum friend / family! But, more important, using the .200" to .220" as a standard blade starting point... what would you recommend for increments...?? Good to hear from you Rick... best to all, til...lat'r...GT..
