WidowsSon683 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 So my SR1911 have the factory novak sights. I wanna replace them with a target rear and fo front. I remember reading somewhere that the rear sight dovetail is a different size than a normal dovetail cut. Can anybody verify this or point me in the right direction? And if so do you know where to get a target rear sight to fit it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WidowsSon683 Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 So 26 views and the only reply is a guy who links me to a website that does not have TARGET sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Based on about 2 minutes of Google, it would appear that the cuts are standard Novak front and Novak "Lo mount" rear. Apparently, the rear cut is a smidge shallower than standard, but the other measurements are the same. Rear base may sit a tiny bit higher than usual, but can be adjusted via adjustable rear or different height front. Don't you even google bro...

Foxj66 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 There really isn't a great "target" rear sight for that dovetail if you are thinking like a bomar sight. The best option is going to be a fixed black rear sight and fiber front. I have Warren tactical sights on my SR1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
