I'd love more info on that front sight.
taurus 145 pro w/ dawson fiber optic front sight and FIST #8
2
hello all-
i posted this over at the high road, and another member suggested i share here...enjoy.
i picked up a taurus 145 pro sa/da a while back. the heinie straight 8's shot a few inches low (common issue). i removed the front sight, and dremeled a novak cut dawson fiber optic front sight to fit the taurus dovetail. i installed the new front sight, which is a bit lower than the heinie. this corrected the poa=poi to be right on!
i also just received a FIST kydex #8 IWB holster. it conceals great.
with 10+1 and 500 rounds fired without and functioning problems, this will now replace my colt lw commander/vm2 combo on my hip.
what a great pistol and design. i hope someone will come out with night sights soon...id love a pair of TFO's on this little pistol.

i ordered it from here: http://www.dawsonprecision.com/CategoryProductList.jsp?cat=SIGHTS+FRONT:STI/SV/Hienie
problem is...i dont remember the dimensions. it was too large for the taurus dovetail, so i did have to grind it down with the dremel in order to make it fit. ill see if i can find the original documentation from dawson detailing the one i ordered.

I just called Novack's to see if they now had any sights for the Taurus pistols, the person I talked to said that in 4-6 weeks they would have the fiber optic sights for the PT 1911 for the public, I don't know if they will fit the PT 145 Pro 3rd gen, but I thought I read somewhere on the board that Pt 1911 and PT 145 dovetails had the same dimensions, can someone tell us if this is correct?muscles said:hello all-
