If only 10" barrels existed for this caliber...

I tried the “gunsmith” route, too.
Despite having provided proper measurements and instructions to match the original contour - he just did what he thought would pass off as adequate, and...

Top Pistol - newer, taller front sight.
Bottom Pistol - older, shorter sight.

The reason I ask is because of this issue I've been having with the only available "regular" replacement sights from...
...and I found these Truglo sights on their website.

Are these for the L5 models only?
After a long hiatus, I started looking for Desert Eagle sights again...
Curious about this as well...
Any follow - up?
I understand that the best place to mount any optic would be on the (fixed) barrel...
My main issue with that is...
...the barrel does get quite hot!
It makes me wonder if one can...
The not - so - Picatinny Rails and Cross - Slots came with the later models.
Not to highjack the thread - but it’ll be fun to speculate how the round would be like necked down to 9mm and 10mm, with a 10” barrel.
In the pre - stainless Mark XIXs, there are actually two different front sight heights, and they don’t make the older ones anymore.
There are these new Tritium Sights on Kahr’s website...
Not sure what they’re cut for.
Curious about this as well.

I'm under the impression it's relatively trouble - free, though trimming may be required...
Thanks for the suggestions.
It really makes me wonder if there are some rather serious QC issues at Kahr / Magnum Research at the moment...
I don’t have the ability to post attachments yet, but...
Magnum Research Customer Support informs me that the newer Desert Eagle Slides have rear sight dovetails that have been set higher than previous, necessitating the higher front sights.

I'll post a picture once I can...
One thing - MRI just informed me that the lower, flush (for lack of a better term) sights aren't part of their inventory any more.
Ugh.
I'm only half way...
How many posts before I can add Attachments, by the way?
For some reason, I can't add attachments - but the non - serrated front sight on this relatively new .50AE 6" barrel I got does sit considerably higher than the one on my older DE50MC. At least a...
Seems like the the pistol should have been designed with a slightly wider gas channel, or a longer gas cylinder - if they couldn't keep things tight.
Perhaps they never anticipated the production...
If I read your other posts correctly, less than 0.0025" to 0.0030" of clearance between the piston and gas cylinder is ideal?
I noticed that the sights on your regular barrels are serrated.
None of mine come like that from the factory...
Are they aftermarket options?
Not going that far :faint2:
