Nemesis Lead Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) Hi Guys, I am looking for a great adjustable rear sight for my 1911. I have a Novak cut dovetail. By great, I mean great sight picture, very durable design, good adjustments, etc.. Many thanks in advance!

jcc7x7 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I like the Harrison sights Actual Novak sights Kensights All same basic pattern and style may all be made by one of them and marketed by the others but I have no proof/knowledge of that other than they all look about the same. Or if possible have sight cut remilled for a BoMar style rear sight and use the Kensight Good fortune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewbeck Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I've had better luck with the Novak hinge style than the. Omar with the pin or the elliason. My issue was the pin in the bomar walking out....its all fun and games til a sight hits you in the forehead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIIID Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 The novak cut can be converted to a Bo-mar style sight. I have designed a new sight base to do the conversion. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twister Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Rich fitted one of his sights to my Dan Wesson, worked out very well, and very clean looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertg5322 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Cost of this conversion? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Hello: I like the Dawson BoMar style rear sight. I like the looks of the conversion base Rich is making for a BoMar type sight. There are some good none adjustable Novak rear sights if you know the front sight height needed for them. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twister Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I think the conversion was around $150, 5 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIIID Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 It's $200.00 for labor and new sight with no refinish, just cold blue on the new cuts or bead blast for stainless. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DagoRed Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I put the Kensington on my TRP, I can't speak for durability yet but I like it with my .100 Dawson front FO. Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
