Front sight alternatives?

Karl · 01-25-2011, 12:10 PM

Since I don’t normally shoot my lugers at 50 meters I would like a taller front sight. I have equipped two of my shooters with sights made from the Brownells Mauser sight blank but this required a lot of careful filing and fitting. As I recall, the P38 sight and K98 sight fit the Luger sight dovetail but are they tall enough?

I measure a standard Luger sight at .215 above sight base. My “custom made” sight for a shooter, point of aim at 50 feet, is .245 high. Advice? Other possibilites?
