New sights as Im getting older

[drakeslayer]

As I get older Im not loving my Sig P220 iron sights.
Anybody "uograded" their sights for the same reason? Love my red dot on my Xmacro but thats not an option for the P220.
Primary use is just range use and some low level steel competitions so low light at times.

Ever since I got my 1st red dot a year or so ago, Ive been mulling over having it cut and considered it more after putting one on my xmacro. Game changer for sure for me.
Not sure I want to do it or not but still on the table.

I am as well but Im been dragging this beloved Sig around for 20 years and not sure I can do it to her. I believe Sig does have a cut slide I can buy I could find a used slide and cut it.

If your undecided and want to keep the original design, upgrade to a green fiber optic front sight... the difference is amazing, as if its one step below a red dot.

What sights does the p220 have? Trijicon has a bunch of the colored and night sight ones on Amazon for $96-$130.

You can also get a red dot rear sight replacement plate for $50

I went thru a similar situation with my eyesight. I found that I see a fiber optic front sight with blacked out rear best as far as iron sights go, but I found that a red dot sight was even better if I was willing to mount one on that particular firearm. Another advantage of having a dot sight is that you can also make adjustments for point of impact variations when using different ammunition types.
My 1911's or very small guns have iron sights, the others now have a dot mounted.

As mentioned in an earlier post, I also have used a dovetail mounting adapter on a pistol I was not willing to permanently mill the slide on. It sits a little higher than I would prefer, but I have gotten use to it and it works fine.

I have a EGW plate on a sar k12 and works good. Cut slide is always better of course.

That optic is shake awake 2 moa red dot and is $36 on Amazon if this code still works at checkout. If code doesn't work there will probably be a new code in a week or 2. They have green dot for $10 more. I also have one on an AREX zero pistol and just ordered 2 more with the code. So that's $144 total for 4 shake awake 2 moa red dots. I hope the next 2 work as good as the first 2. I'll test them before the Amazon return period expires just in case. I'm gonna try one on a p220 10mm which should beat the crap out of it and see how it does.

I say get the original milled but buy a cap with it in case you decide to hold off or dislike the rmr but as you age your eyes will keep the rmr and on your favorite gun, a bonus.
