Adam B Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I am thinking about either making rabbit ears or doing a 45 degree cuts on my Bomar Can anyone tell me the which they feel is better and why and/or should I just leave it stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Hello: I would try a radius on each side first. If that does not work then try the 45 degree angle. If that does not work then do the rabbit ears. The ears tend to grab on cloths and get bent as well. Hope this helps. Thanks Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsb45acp Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I had 'Rabbit ears" on one of my Limited pistols and didn't like them at all. I think I was just used to a full profile rear sight and it made my sight alignment more difficult. (I have enough problem with that anyway ) If you want to try it, I'd do the 45 degree angle first and then go from there. IIRC, there is a thread from Chuck at Shooter's Connection about this, maybe that would give you some more info or opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cking Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Not sure what your trying to achieve? It will be a fragile sight. For me the large flat back surface helps me level my front sight in the notch. Also find the large horizontal line helps me index on target faster since it is out of focus. Now I did round the corners of mine as part of a not sharp corners anywhere on the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Mays Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I'd think that rabbit ears would contribute toward sight confusion... that is, the front would resemble the rear ears too much for the eye to quickly pick out. I think a better route would be to shape the blade in a pyramid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a better route would be to shape the blade in a pyramid. That was my experience with them; very confusing to look at at speed. Pyramiding the rear sight works well, and it actually has the effect of driving the eye in an "up" vector towards the front sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Look at the Combat Pyramid Sight on Wilson's web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout454 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I have 8 1911's/S_I's. I have pyrimided the BoMar's/copies on all of them. I've done the same for 15 or so other shooters in the area. Better sight picture (more target visable) without being fragile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
