Sig P226 MK25 sights

[Jah 0]

Hey all, new here from Ocean County.

 

I just recently bought an Mk25. Love it.

 

I'm shooting low to the left at 10 yards. I read somewhere that the sights for 9mm Sigs are 8/8.

 

If I'm not mistaken, is this a 6? This is my rear sight. Front is an 8.

If the rear is a 6 the front should be a 6 too. I've seen reports of 6f/6r. 8f/8r and 6f/8r. Never a 8f/6r

Thanks, appreciate it. I'll look more into this.

Jah, depentant on the caliber of the weapon in question sig normally does set up the sights as follows.

9mm & .357 SIG: #8 front / #8 rear

.40 S&W & .45 ACP: #6 front / #8 rear.

This is a rule of thumb for the p series guns. I checked a bunch of mine both p series and 1911's /938,s and they all fell within this formula. Possibly a mix up from the factory if this is a new out of box gun.

Hope this helps and good luck.

Thanks, redwings. Maybe this gives me a reason to buy adjustable sights now?

If it came from the factory with the incorrect sights, I would contact Sig directly and have them fix it.

Just got off the phone with Sig.

 

I asked what they ship their MK25's with.

 

I gave him my serial number. He says they ship with 8fronts, 6rear. I didn't tell them what I had.

 

Anyone else with a MK25 have this too?

My MK25 has 8 front 6 rear purchased new, less than 12 mo ago.

I'm having my buddy check his too.

For rear sights, the higher the number, the taller the sight. For front sights, the higher the number, the shorter the sight. This can be confusing to remember.
The easiest way to think of it is, numbers up, groups up; numbers down, groups down. This is true for both front and rear sights. Each number change on the rear sight will affect POI 2" per 25 yds. Each number change on the front sight will affect POI 1" per 25 yds.

 

Keep in mind bullet weight affects POI - if the sights were regulated with 147 gr bullets it will shoot below POA with 115 gr bullets.

 

Make sure that you let someone else shoot it just to confirm your low/left POI before you start changing things around.

 

Adios,

My friend's is Front 8 Rear 6 as well.

 

He's in NY so he's got to get rid of his 15 round mags if anyone wants 'em...  $30 a pop + Shipping.

Because NY only allows for 10 rounders..

Mine is 6R/8F.

 

I think your low and left shooting is more of a grip/pressure issue. The MK25 has thick grip panels, I found myself pushing right at first ( I am lefty) when I was holding the gun to tightly. When I loosen my grip, try to maintain pressure on the front strap and back strap only my POI matched my POA. I liked the panels, but the thickness did affect me, I have med/large hands so I went ahead and swap the grip panels for an E2 grip recently. Need to go check how that shoots soon.

 

Also, Is this your first DA/SA pistol? Are your results with DA or SA shots? DA... make sure trigger is coming straight back and not putting pressure on right side of trigger.

 

I practiced for hours with a empty shell case or a quarter balance right behind the front sight sight, and worked the DA trigger to get the correct pressure and muscle memory.  I can get to 25 pulls before a quarter falls off. 8 with a spent case which is much lighter.

My rear sight reads MH3 AO and the underlined 6, the front sight reads the same MH3 AO. I hope that helps. I bought mine about 4 months ago.

[dino71 7]

Oh shit mine also is stamped 8 on the front too and 6 in the rear. I didn't notice that the 8 was stamped on the flat side.

I buy them if they are still for sale.

I looked at mine.....how the F'k do you guys see the numbers? I had my glasses on, and tried enlarging a photo, I still can't read shit!

[bhunted 887]

Its stamped right into site under the printed MH.

Same sights on my MK25.  I shoot at RTSP if you want to try it.  Sights are dead on.

I’m tagging this to come back to

Sooo I’ve got a 6r 6f after talking to sig about my 229 stainless elite. For me to be on, within my proficiency. Combat hold, front sight is up. Got a little run around from cs. The guy initially guessed an 8 rear. Taller. Which would make sense with what I’m doin. I use normal sight picture with MrsZ beretta and glck. Same proficiency on my end.

Sooo I think I need an 8 rear( taller) . Here’s the rub, if I send it back, and they deem it accurate they start charging..

im going to have someone better try it first. To double ck.

but what’s cheaper, buying an 8 or sending it back and gambling?
