I'd recommend going with a black rear sight,

I like irons with my RDS.

That's the problem lol, finding an iron front sight that isn't a complete piece of garbage to allow me to cowittness.

Front sight is east, just get a Trijicon or Ameriglo and call it a day. What you really is something like this...

For the DPP backup iron sight insert a .455" Dawson front sight is needed.
I believe they are the only ones making one that tall.

Dawson is a reputable company, tell them your tale of woe and they may send you another.
FWIW I have broken off the base/dovetail on a Trijicon front sight trying to use a pusher.

The next two I fitted better and used a nylon punch at the base to install them.

Fitting sites wasn't as straightforward as I thought it would be. You shouldn't just bang it the old ones and throw the new one in the dovetail and push/punch it in. Some (most) firearms have a correct direction the old site should be removed in, and the new one should be inserted from that same side. Before punching/pushing it in you should file down the base enough that it friction/press fits into the dovetail solidly, but doesn't require enough force to damage anything. Also a little bit of blue lock tight once you have it centered and/or shooting straight isn't a bad idea eather. I a used a brass punch against the base when I replaced the sights on my P320. Copper solvent like you would use in your barrel will remove brass marks from a brass punch.

It's also handy to have some oxpho blue to refinish parts on the sights and/or dovetail if necessary as well.
