I bought a used P226 with dead night sights that were very hard to use on a cloudy day or indoors with my eyes and I bought this front sight only as a way to improve the sight picture with minimum cost. This sight is a bargain compared to the standard #7 Sig white dot front sight for only a few dollars less and it really gives a high contrast picture in cloudy or full sun daytime and adequate indoor range use. I did not see any noticeable POI/POA shift issues compared to the factory sight and it maintains the "air gap" that Sigs are known for. It is an exact dimensional copy of a #7 sight as far as I can tell.
The only "disadvantage" to these sights is that they do require hand fitting with a triangle file and flat file on the bottom of the sight. This is fairly straight forward and Dawson has some how-to videos on how to do this, but you may want to take this sight to a gunsmith if you are not comfortable with doing that.
