Need some X model 45 Colt front sight info....

Anyone here tell me if the factory front sight is taller for suppressor use? My suppressor measures 1.375 O.D. so that would be .687 or 11/16ths from barrel centerline to top of suppressor.
Thanks!

No help here, as I don't own one, but thinking as it comes with the barrel threaded.
Surely they compensated for that.

mine is an inch and a half OD and the top of the front sight peeks over. Looking or aiming through the sight on a rifle is quite a bit easier than a pistol as both eyes are open. I put a romeo 5 on min to start with. I moved over to a sig 1-6 VPO and haven't looked back

Thanks DsGrouse !

I have a Sico 46 Hybrid that I put on my 44mag X. The factory installed sights weren't tall enough to clear my can (1.57" diameter)

I don't like the idea of aiming through the can so I replaced my factory sights with a set of Midwest Industry sights that are made for the Henry X.

My sight picture is now free and clear of the can. I am sure that there are people out there who are comfortable aiming through the can but I am not one of those people.

The sights are well made and appear to be over built to make them pretty tough.

After re-reading the OP, the factory sights should be okey dokey for the OP's application. I'm sure I wouldn't have needed different sights if my can was a little smaller in radius like the OP's.
