New sights on 1911
« on: September 11, 2020, 04:07:08 PM »
I'm looking to replace the sights on my SR1911 which is currently set up with the factory sights. I use the FT bullseye on my glock and absolutely love it but they dont make one that will mount on a 1911.

So my question is this, does anyone know of a bright sight that does not require batteries and slim enough for EDC?

Meprolight tritium sights.  https://www.opticsplanet.com/meprolight-usa-tru-dot-night-sight-td-fixed-45-acp-1911-front-and-rear-sight-set.html   I use some of their sights on a H&K VP-9, they're plenty bright.  I also use some Meprolight M21's on a couple of our long guns.

I have the M21 on a tavor x95 and LOVE it!!!

I'd like to stay with a single sight picture, one dot, vs lining up front, rear and target, if possible.

Look at Dawson Precision.  They have some very good options.  My preferred is a Fiber Optic front with Black rear. It sound like that is the sight picture you like.

Truglo TFO sights, green front, yellow rear are wonderful.
