PT1911 Sights

Gregory Gauvin · February 27, 2015, 02:40 AM

Looking to upgrade my stock straight 8 stocks on my PT1911. I understand the Taurus uses a special cut. I am not a fan of the straight 8 hold, and prefer a stand 6'oclock hold. Are their night sights on the market that will work with this gun without having to mill the slide? Thanks.

I do, however, prefer the 2 dot system. I find 3 dot sights to be a little distracting for quick target acquisition. Ideally, the stock sights in tritium set for a 6'oclock hold would be my dream.

The last set I installed if I remember correct , the rear sight was pretty standard but the front sight had to be fitted.
