I have a few P1's and would like to swap-out the front sights to get them correct. The sights aim is good left/right, its just the high/low dimension that needs adjusting.
After much reading-around on these forums and elsewhere (yes I already did a search) I found there are different Numbered front sights with different vertical heights.
(schematic diagram here: http://www.carlwalther.com)

But one question which was not addressed was: where to buy these?
Some places like CDNN sell the front sight but do no specify what the numbering is (I think these are just random mil-surplus).

I have found one place that has them listed by-number:
http://www.gunpartscorp.com/catalog/Search.aspx?filter=walther+p+1+front+sight

But they are around $15 each, does anyone know of a cheaper way I could just buy a "variety pack" that had several of different numbers?

I changed my front sight recently and it was worth the $14 Numirch charges.

You can get a front sight for $8 from RTG but you don't know the size he will send you. I have orderd a slide assemble and rear sights from them, didn't ask if they would send a specific sight number. Try calling him and see if you can get a certain number, I would like to know if he will do it.

If you are shooting low, go one number higher. Shooting high go one number lower.
My P1 shoots about 1 to 2 inches low at 25 feet, has a #3 front site.
So I ordered a #4 from Numerich. Looks like 15/100 difference between each sight. All the other vendors play dumb, just list front sight.
