Am satisfied with my g35 BUT it shoots a little high and left with my 165 gr bullets.I can adjust for windage but the rear sight is as low as it can go.Can someone recommend a good adj sight for this pistol,one with more adjustment than the one on the 35 now?

Ha! Although I cannot possibly see how a reply about a set of fixed sights would help a shooter looking for adjustable sights, in fact Dawson does make a decent set of adjustable target sights...

Well, bless your heart, I guess you just took the longer way around. Either way, as long as the Pahermit gets some valuable info, that's what we're hoping for! You stay safe as well, it's a scary world out there, hombre...
Pahermit, another concern when mixing different brand front and rear sights, is to make sure that the width of the front sight is neither too wide, nor too narrow for the application you intend for them. For precision, a wider front blade that leaves a narrow clearance between rear notch and front post is good for precise target work, skinny front post is better for faster shooting.
Thanks amigo. :cheers:

You can lower the POI with a higher front sight.

I had the same POI as you and went with Dawson sights....they guarantee to get you on target.

Read their Perfect Impact policy.....

I agree 100%.

I actually use Warren Tactical rear (I just prefer his semi U notch and profile rear, I bought them on Dawson's web site) and a Dawson narrow post front FO sight for my G35. You can have a number of post heights to adjust your POI for various loads, works great. Dawson makes excellent quality sights.

Dawson is good but you can also go onto opticsplanet and get an Ameriglo Fiber Optic front sight, just get one that's taller than .200" and that should help...the main point here being that you need a taller front sight. I think a green fiber optic front with a standard Glock rear makes for a good sight setup, I like one no wider than .115" (you can select both sight width and height).

OP, 165's will shoot lower than 180/200's. How high is high, and at what distance? Left is just a grip issue (for right handed shooters), put more trigger finger on it. Hold your gun like this. Also what sight picture are you using? Dots or no dots, it should be # 2, POA/POI across the flats of the sights, except for night sights in low light, # 3.

First shots from my Leo trade 35 with 180 gr Win. and factory night sights was shooting 3" high@25 yds. Switch to 165 gr Win. hits to poa @ 25 yds. This has been my experience with all handguns.
Reason for this is dwell time in barrel.

IMO a thin blade is better than thick blade.
A thin blade allows more light on ea. side making it much faster to center up in rear notch.
Thin blade works kind of like a peep sight on rifle allowing sharper focus of front sight.It also covers less of target on long range shots.
Any one that has shot an accurate rifle with peep sights knows what I'm talking about.

He has a point though. Adjustable sights seem to get wonky from time to time. A slight bend maybe. I can't even measure it, but when we can't get a Glock or 1911 to sight in properly or consistently, the 1st thing I do is chuck the slide in a vice and hammer that rear sight out. Put a fixed sight in, perfectly centered, and viola, it's dead on. The adjustable was perfectly centered as well, but hitting waay left.

Sometimes the way they adjust, can leave the sight canted. Shouldn't effect anything, with some adjustment, but it does. Haven't been able to put my finger on why, when my calipers say it's correct.

Fixed Warren rear (plain black) and a Dawson front (fiberoptic, green, .235-.245 tall, .105-.115 wide), is definitely the hot setup for the Glock 35.

.245 will hit where you're used to, I prefer seeing the impact better, so I prefer a .240 or .235.

There's no doubt in my mind that adjustable rear sights are inferior for combat or competition. Sure, maybe I have a few extra front sights in my tool box from dialing my Zero in perfectly on half a dozen Glocks, but once it's set, it's permanent and reliable.

I'm debating a CZ TSO, but might wait another year until I get to shoot them more. Not sure if I can replace the adjustable on that with fixed, and what options I would have.

I haven't noticed much change in ammo brands, S&B, Federal, and Blazer. Even .40 minor seemed to be close to my Zero.

Never seen anyone running adjustable sights for USPSA/IDPA/Steel Challenge or 3 gun competition in over 25 years. They just aren't needed. For 9's. changing from a 115 gr zero to a 147 gr will pull high about 2" at 25 yards. On a 40, a 165 gr zero to a 220 gr will pull about the same amount. And higher is always better for action pistol. Now a 45acp, well, that's different. A 165 zero to a 230 will result in as much a 4" and that's a bit much. That's why you normally only see adjustable's in Bullseye. There are so many nice sight sets out there now, Dawson Precision, Taran Tactical, Heinies. The only real decision is do you want a fiber optic front, or just black on black.

Some I have gotten as match product and tried over the years. The night sights are on carry guns, and didn't like the Straight 8 setup. The others are just Dawsons. didn't care for the U notch, like the fiber optic ok for Steel Challenge, but most of the time I run wide cut rear (.180") black on black Heinies.



It's not really that wide, just can't get a good pic of it.



or a 7 MOA dot for Open Division.

OP has not reported how high is high, and at what distance. Still very odd that a 165" would shoot high. I would run some 180's thru it and pay close attention to your grip, especially to get the web of your hand as high as possible on the gun.



And then wrap your left hand with thumbs forward. This is about right, some guys like to cam over more. I am more old school and go higher with my thumbs.
