Just bought a colt defender that comes with novak sights, thinking about putting night sights on it. Does anyone know if any 1911 night sights will fit or if it takes a special cut. I did a search on ebay for defender night sights and saw that a company meprolt makes a " true dot" but they are around 150 and that is a lot of coin for a product i know nothing about. Anyone have any experience with this night sight company or the colt defender?
meprolight sights are very nice. The dots are big and bright. Any sights you wish to use on the defender must have what they call the novak cut or must be able to be used on a series 90 colt. Meprolight and Trijicon both make night sight sets for the defender. Meprolight's are cheaper and imo brighter. You can also get night sights from colt and novak themselves. They will run you at least $100 not including shipping and labor if you go with colt or novak though. Your best bet is to buy the mepro's and either install them yourself or have someone local put them on.
FYI shop around because meprolights are easily found for under $150 online. Opticsplanet, midwayusa, etc,etc.
