| I have a PD trade in P220 that is in need of new night sights. Right now it has #6 front and #9 rear. I can't seem to find 9's anywhere. Does anyone know where they can be purchased? |

Just order two #8s. They are commonly available from Mep/Trij/SIG. The differential is 30/1000ths. Not sure why someone ran 6 front and a 9 rear, when two 8s are common on older 220s and have the exact same trajectory.
Rear Sight Heights: #4 = 5.24mm (0.21 inches) #5 = 5.52mm (0.22 inches) #6 = 5.80mm (0.23 inches) #7 = 6.07mm (0.24 inches) #8 = 6.35mm (0.25 inches) #9 = 6.62mm (0.26 inches) #10 = 6.90mm (0.27 inches) Front Sight Heights: #5 = 6.01mm (0.235 inches) #6 = 5.88mm (0.230 inches) #7 = 5.74mm (0.225 inches) #8 = 5.60mm (0.220 inches) #9 = 5.46mm (0.215 inches) #10 = 5.32mm (0.210 inches) |

Quoted:
P220 in .45ACP should have a 6 front and an 8 rear...P226 in 9mm should have 8s for both...for stock set ups... Bill Well, mine came from Asheville PD with 9 in the back and 6 in the front. Shoots dead on a 25 yards like a laser beam. Just can't see'em unless it is pitch dark and your eyes have adjusted. Checking with SIG on what I should do. Thanks everyone... |

do you know how old yours is???...prior to 1999 or there abouts, SIG Lights were made by Trijicon and they can relamp them for a fee that is usually less than a new pair (when I did mine in 2007, it was $49 plus about $10 to ship the slide)...then you can keep the accuracy you like...Trijicon will not relamp Meprolight sights (the current maker of most SIG Lights)
