I have not had any expereince with the Dawson sights but i do have expereince with truglo TFO sights after 50 rnds the fiber in the front sight was missing and the trit was no longer glowing.  I now have a set of metprolights that have been great and are super bright.  I know this is not exactly what you are looking for but it may help u or someone else reading this thread.

That answers my curiosity about the TFOs.  I guess I'll be getting some Trijicons.  Thanks.

I have Dawson fixed sights on my XDM 45 and am very happy with them. The old sights are a bitch to remove. I used a cutoff wheel and cut them 95% of the way thru, then knocked them out. File the dove tail on the new sight for the proper fit and tap them in. The rear sight has a set screw, so make it a little looser in case you need to move it. Good Product

I have Dawson's on my 9mm Tactical. They are great sights. Going to take the Tru Glos off my 45 and install Dawson's.

I use the TFO's on my XD45, and after more than 1000 rounds, they are as tight as the day they were installed.

Hi all
do the sights come off left to right on the XDM's?
How much trouble will I run into trying to get the sights off with a brass punch and hammer?
