1911 sights

[AKguy1985]

My Kimbers have white dot rear and fiber optic fronts. The fiber optic really stands out.

Same here, I have a 10mm with a green fiber optic front sight.

I have cataracts. Changed to a green fiber optic on my Springfield EMP. Helps alot
Gun shop suggested a reflex sight for me. $$ to upgrade.

Did the same on my compact 1911 removed the .060 red fiber drilled out to .078 put super bright green fiber from Nano Optics. huge difference. fiber does have its limitations though.

What are the current sights on your 1911? The type of sight cut will dictate your replacement options.

It’s a Colt and the stock sights.

Colt has many different sight options. Of the different rear sights in the picture, which one does your rear sight look like?

Carry a Wilson Combat EDCX9 thinking seriously about sending it to Wilson to get them to machine the slide and install the red dot. It's what they call their true zero optic.

After contacting Wison Combat didn't want to send one of mine in for a 4 to 6 month turn around so purchased this should have it in a couple days. Time to practice.
