    While I'm waiting for my can to come in I'm trying to get my g21 gen 4 ready and have read a lot of different things about suppressor height sights vs regular height sights. I will be shooting the gun suppressed and unsuppressed so would tall sights affect my poi without a can on? I know I may have poi shift with the can. Should I just get regular sights and shoot through the can? Should I be looking at getting adjustable sights? Just a few questions I had I don't want to buy something and regret it later.

    It really depends on your intentions. If you plan to shoot suppressed a lot, then by all means, get the suppressor height sights. Be aware that this could affect holster fit also. If you plan to just use the can intermittently or as a novelty, then stick with regular height.

    POI shift will be negligible at normal pistol range. I wouldn't worry about adjustable sights.

    I'd just shoot with the regular sights first and see how it works out for you.

    I have adjustable sights on all my HK USP's and Adjustable sights on my Glock 19 and 34. Comes in handy when you shoot suppressed, but EVERY round will impact POI. So I have a gun set up for 158 gr ammo, I have most of the others set up for 147gr American eagle. I have a set of fixed suppressor sights I haven't installed yet. I'm waiting to get my slide milled on my g34, and will use those instead of the tall dawson precision adjustable sights.

    Btw, for shooting quick, WITHOUT the suppressor, I feel the tall sights slow me down, maybe a personal thing, but the tall front blade without the suppressor blacking out most of it makes it harder for me to concentrate.

    Personally, I would go with suppressor height sights. Once you shoot with your suppressor, you will always want to shoot with your suppressor.

    Well I have two g19's one with tall sights and 1 without. If I shoot suppressed I'll use the tall sight one.

    Yeah I really like the Atom slides an yeah they might be a little high but I don't mind paying for a quality product only thing is I don't see where they make one for a g21 anywhere an I take it the rmrs hold up pretty well ?

    I'd have the RMR mount in front of your rear sight. I bought my slide complete from One Source. Excellent work.
