[QUOTE="grwd, post: 725577, member: 459"] GI is tiny tiny tiny. If its a Springfield GI, then you are stuck with swapping out the front little nub they call a sight. No aftermarket sights I know of will work with that teeny bump. If its a mil-spec SA, then TP is right; the 10-8 is the best option out there w/o recutting the slide. Height of the GI sight itself is 0.240" tall. Thats bottom of the dovetail to the top of the slide. Dont have any GIs to measure the dovetail, but again, that10-8 sight is .075" too tall than a true GI rear. To get a bigger front, you might want to get Kevin to cut you a dovetail for the front, instead of staking on a bigger one. [/QUOTE]
