Ruger P95 Sight Radius

[Jason P]

Anybody know which aftermarket sights have the longest sight radius when installed on a P95? The factory sights are pointy (catch on holster when drawing from certain positions) and pointing straight up. Interested in Williams Firesights, or maybe Meprolights or whatever gives me the longest radius per dollar.

Any ideas? Any pictures of sights mounted?

LOL, nobody has night sights on their P95?

I just did a search and it doesn't look like you are going to get an increase in sight radius by changing the sights. The only ones that might give you a little would be LPA sight sets. The rear sight is adjustable and sits back a little farther. The problem is the front and rear sight sit very tall.

The tiny white dot sights on my P95 are probably the only thing I don't like about that gun. Otherwise its a great value for a range plinker.
You could send your slide to Novak for some better snag-free sights.

Hmm... ask a gunsmith for advice. This is the first I am hearing of that problem with the p95 ruger. I have one in jail right now. I can get it out on the 7th. Also, pick up the latest copy of Handgunner magazine; there are always ads in there for custom work and aftermarket sights.

The issue is finding a rear sight that sits back like this one:

Back of the slide, just short of the hammer would be about 9/16" increase (just over 10%), and a flatter sight profile (think no pointy hump). I could care less about glowing anything, as that's something I can handle on my own.

What I don't want to do is end up at my work bench making my own rear sight with files for an entire weekend or more. But I will if it comes to that, because I want what I want
