  • PM9 with 2 different sights

    Hey guys, quick question... I purchased a used PM9 and I was surprised to discover that the front sight is a Meprolight dot night sight and the rear is from a Trijicon XS big dot night sight. Sorta strange the previous owner diddnt just stick to either Meprolight 3 dot night sights or a XS Big dot night sights but rather mix matched them. What do you guys think about this setup? At the range will this setup prove accurate shots considering its 2 different sight systems?

    Might work fine.
    Fire a few carefully aimed test shots and let us know.

      I see nuttin to get concerned about.It should work just fine. SHOOT THE FOKKER.. Just my 21 cent son this but if u think ur gonna line u that back sight and the front sight and the BG in a nite fight, ur DREAMIN or smokin some pwoerful stuff. If u see that front nite sight , that shold suffice, If u go hunting for all three objects. more than likely ur gonna be deadon arrival. Just sayin

      I personally think that rear lighted nite site is more PR than actual funtionality.. Just sayin
      . My PM9 has over 34,000+ rounds through it, and runs much better than an illegal trying to get across our border

        Shouldn't be a problem and easy to remedy if it is.

          Shoot it and find out if it works/works for you. Wouldn't for me, but sights are real personal.

            May be he got a good deal on each one separately?
            On the internet, the number of posts do not correlate to actual knowledge.
            The notch is supposed to be there as well as the bulge at the front of the frame!

              Maybe for the past owner, it worked for him in terms of getting appoximate line up on the center of mass of a bg at reasonable range.

              If those sights are in proper alignment with each other, that looks like a hell of a battle sight setup

                Looks like the XS Standard Dot sights and not the Big Dot front. Should be fine.

                  PM9 with 2 different sights

                  I will soon be using my PM9 as my EDC and I am about to have a green Hi-Viz fiber optic front sight installed while keeping the factory white bar rear to see how that sight picture works for me. If I don't like it I'll try a different rear sight, probably a two dot. I'll see what works best. Find whatever set up works best for your own eyes, grip, stance, physique etc.

                    If it's set right and is accurate I fail to see a problem.
                    To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

                      personally, I'm no fan of fiber optic tubules up front on an edc pistol... they just don't hold up for me

                        The also vary too much in brightness/viz in the dark. I've become a real fan of gold bead fronts on handguns.

                          I got a Redhawk with a gold bead and really liked it... very easy to see, very easy to make out in early morning/late evening outside

                          For EDC.... I'm probably gonna have to say I'm a fan of the big dot or that setup the OP has... thats pretty slick

                            I put a HiViz on my PM9. It's great at the range, but poor indoors and in low-light.

                              First of all thanks for all your opinions and comments. I decided to go XS big dot in the front. Called XS Sights and front sight, labor, and shipping will be $90. I think the extra size of the front big dot will make target acquisition easier on this sight system. Will post pictures once installed. Again thanks for all your posts.
