Factory sight numbers for p245

462 Views 5 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  Willard
I bought a nice p245, but it came with Trijicon night sights which are now dead. I'd like to replace these with the factory Sig sights it originally came with, but I can't find any information of what # sight heights are correct for this model. Does anyone have this information?

In the majority of cases, .45 Auto chambered weapons used #6 front, and #8 rear. Some exceptions were a #8 front and #7 rear, which essentially has the same POI. I will check my computer, to look for the chart showing the older German models, and post it.

Thank you - yes, I would appreciate the original German info on the p245. I just realized the Trijicon front sight is marked #6, but the rear sight is unmarked. If you could confirm what the correct p245 rear sight number is from the German data, I'd appreciate it!
This older chart doesn't contain the P245, as I thought it might... but would likely correspond with the P220 Adjustable front sight.

Back during the early years, most aftermarket siights for Sig's were divided between 9mm/.357 Sig (#8F/#8R), and .40 S&W/.45 Auto (#6F/#8R) generally.

Thank you for the information. I think I will try to track down a #6 front / #8 rear then. Out of curiosity, did sig ever sell pistols factory fitted with trijicon night sights? I feel like I have heard this to be true with the older german pistols. My p245 is from 1998 so this may be the case if true.

The earliest Sig factory installed Tritium sights were sourced from Trijicon, then later from Meprolight. Normally the Trijicon sourced sights have the "white dots" on top, or in other cases on the bottom, so the Tritium capsules could be replaced. It seems each manufacture used different diameter capsules. The Trijicons had the recessed face like these show too, while the Meprolight versions were flush.

The earliest actually used the Von Stavenhagen concept... as these I saved from Police Department German P226, 9mm pistols in early 2000s.
