Was looking on gunpartscorp.com I found the rear sights for the P5 in different heights. they're running between $24-$30. Seems like there's a lot of options and it seems like if you had the funds you could really fine tune your sights. here's the link:

My P5 and P88 feature sight picture # 2, my P99 has #3

No problem for me whatsoever to switch from one gun to another !

European military and police weapons are set up for a different sight picture than American weapons. Sight image 1 is your typical American rifle sight picture (known as pumpkin on post...but the pumpkin is usually much smaller). Sight image 2 is your typical American pistol sight picture (point of impact just above front sight). Sight image 3 is a European sight picture (point of impact at front sight dot).

Go to the range and try sight picture 3 with your pistol. I think you will be surprised.






Hey! Thanks for this - my PPS out of the box was holding a nice grouping, but hitting just a shade low- next time at the range I will have to give this aiming technique a try!
