Replacement 1911 Sights

[Moparman485]

Style wise, I am partial to the tritium, but I’m not stuck on that. This pistol is primarily a target pistol, and side arm while hunting. It isn’t my nightstand gun, or a promary SDA carry pistol. I actually prefer the sights of my rock island 10mm (I know, I know), and they are just some cheap fiber optic type, to the tritium.

I will be honest, my specialty lies in long guns and reloading, pistols have largely remained tertiary to me, so I am open to recommendations and experience.

I sent my slide to XS and had the Big Dot sight installed and I love it. They cut a dove tail in it.

Ryan500L. That's a good idea actually. And XS makes really good stuff.

Hey Ryan, was it relatively recent that you did so? And what kind of cost did you have? Like all in for the sight and install/milling.

That's been probably 5 years ago and it seems like it was $125 all together.

It's a v notch rear and then the large Dot with the tritium outline. Works really good for me. It's an old colt commander and the stock sights weren't much good to me.

See, that’s. Price range that seems reasonable for sure. I used to have an XS sight on one of my older GP100s and liked it. Again, this isn’t a precision pistol, just range toy and hunting side arm primarily, so I don’t need “precision sight picture” so to speak

You would probably like the Big Dot setup, it's not for long range shooting but works really good for about everything else I think.

I may look into them if nobody in state wants to jump on er. Thanks for the info!
