Page 2 - Crosman LPA MIM Rear Sight Reviews

Turned my 1377 into more of a tac driver then it was before. Quarter size groups at 20 yards. I bought the basic gun years ago with the carbine stock. Then the steel breech. And finally the rear sight just a week ago. All metal construction.

The holes through the adjustable part of the sight don't line up well with the screws that tighten the sight to the breech. The dovetail of the sight that slides into the breech is so tight I needed to use a hammer to drive it into position. (not sure whether this is a good or bad thing)

Kind of expensive at $47.99 but then again this rear sight is firearm quality.

Not being able to find a replacement rear sight for my EAA Witness Elite 9mm semi handgun, I decided to do a deep search on Google. Instead of the usual just stop and look a the first page, somewhere about page 10 I found an old web blog from years ago. It mentioned that the this LPA sight would work even though it was meant for a Crossman airgun. Turned out it works! AND it costs .... wait for it ... 1/3 the asking price of what I would have paid had I been able to find it in stock!!! Not only did it fit, but it also didn't need any adjustment. Even though it allows for plenty of elevation and windage I popped it on with a few plastic mallet taps and I am back in business..

Absolutely nothing!

Overall quality of the part EXCEPT it will NOT fit the Crosman Metal Breech!

FITMENT for dovetail on a CROSMAN METAL BREECH is a NO-GO! Sight's dovetail is TOO SMALL to properly fit the breech.

Save your money! DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM!

Appears to be a nice sight.

Not sure if the sight is poorly machined or if the breech is cut too large.

High quality at an affordable price. Easy to adjust with included pocket tool.

N/A

Easy to see white dots, steel construction instead of plastic and looks good on 1377.

It needs a tighter fit into dovetail so it sits lower and doesn't run out of elevation adjustment which causes it to impact high on target. Maybe a narrower slot. Although it's pretty easy to figure out, instructions would be helpful. Thanks Pyramid for the warning about not over tightening set screws.

My only problem with the sight is I ran out of elevation adjustment down before I could get the gun to impact low enough. With the elevation bottomed out I shot @1.5" consistantly holding 6 o'clock to the bull at 30ft. From 50-60 ft it was impacting much higher. I tried a plastic shim to get the sight to sit lower in dovetail. It helped but was not enough. I've heard this complaint in reviews before and after my purchase. Since I couldn't bring the rear sight down more I decided to bring the front sight up. I had some round headed tiny brass tacks in my workshop which I shortened to match the top of front blade and taped it on to try it out after raising rear sight several clicks. After one minor adjustment it was dead on accurate from 35 ft. At 60 ft. it was still on target so I glued the tack down and sanded and blackened the glue. It has the brass bead look now(see photo). If your 1377/1322 is hitting high and you like the sight otherwise, this could be a solution.

Quality of construction, ease of installation.

A bit confusing with selecting this item when ordering steel breech upgrade. PA should have a reminder system in place to ask if you are sure you want to place an order for the steel breech upgrade without a rear sight. That's what happened to me.

Unless you are very familiar with PA's online order system I would suggest talking to a real person when placing orders.

Easy to make adjustment and solidly built, no plastic, came with adjusting tool. Easy to install.

This did not come with any instruction so you have to figure it out for your self on how to do the adjustment but once you figured it out it's really easy. It will be nice if it comes with a simple instruction.

I would say that this is the best or one of the best open sight you can buy, this complement my fibre optic front sight.

The sight is well made.

nothing.

The sight was put on a 2260, with steel a breach. The sight is too close to my eye to see it. It needs to be farther down the barrel for my use. (NOTE) I'm 70 years old. I am going to try this on an old Rossy levergun to see if will work on it.

Overall it's good sight, and I like it. I will use it another gun at some point, but this one.

It doesn't play well with the Crosman front sight. I ran out of adjustment before I could get the gun vertically on the bull. Used another FO rear sight for a Smith & Wesson, which was lower and right on target.

There is a match grade target sight for the Crosman sold at one of the other popular air gun sites that is very adjustable and a lot cheaper, which I didn't find out about until after the fact.

Well made and easily adjustable.

Rather pricey for what it is! The sight picture is very wide for the front post on my 10" barrel.

Easier to see the target than the factory sites.

Nothing.

The factory sites work fine but these go well with the steel breech.

Adjustments to fine tune it and the white dots. wish they had more front sights to choose from.

nothing

great choice

This sight is very good on my 1377. Dots are very visible. Fastens securely to steel breech with 2 hex screws, no sight drifting tools required. I had no problems after a few weeks, about 500 pellets and some walking around with it in a hip holster. Spring locking adjustments offer about .25-.5" adjustments per click at 50'. Flat screw driver adjustment tool is a good bonus. The sight fits the steel breech well and looks nice. The sight is a little awkward at first when used with the aftermarket stock on a 1377 but manageable. I did not have any need to re-zero whether using stock or not. This sight MAY work on other applications.

My ideal range for the 1377 is 50 ft. I need to hold the target 1.5" high at that range. I wish it was only .5". I would like it if the sight sat a bit lower. I may modify mine to suit my need, but given the results of my experiences using it off the range I may just leave it alone.

This sight IS worth the money. I painted my front sight orange and cut the "C" shape off the back of it giving it a ramp so it will not snag on a holster. Orange and white works for me but I might change them to one color. I also have a thin band across the front of the steel breech and my sight picture is unaffected when using this sight.

Easy to install, all accessory are already there.

nothing for this open sight.

It works with the steel breech, I am not sure it will fit other models.

Very low profile & once mounted will stay put unlike the Williams sight which is huge by comparison. Very well made out of all steel. Easy to adjust with the supplied tool.

The high cost but then it would have to be made cheaper.

Well made in Italy

The sight fit perfectly in the dovetail of my Witness P 9mm, which replaced a windage adjustable sight. I had to tweak the rear of the sight for full elevation adjustment, but is adjustable to hit POA.

Shipping cost ridiculous. Considering the turnaround time from order to receipt and $8.00 cost, consider using USPS Priority for $4.95...receive in 2 days.

The compactness of the sight.

I would machine the sight so you could achieve more elevation.

I would change the price. For to expensive for what it is.

Ease of installation on steel breech. Can be centered so that the reference marks can be used to re-center accurately after making temporary adjustments for wind.

Nothing.

When using with shoulder stock, it is best to black out the white dots with a drop of flat black paint on each dot. The white dots tend to distort the location of the top of the sight when moved so close to the eye. This is generally not an issue when used as a pistol without the shoulder stock.

Good quality for money, fit and finish is excellent.

Nothing

No!
