I have the para ops 1911 45 with a 3.5 barrel and wanted to put adjustable sight on but wanted to know which one to get and where.

Go to Brownell's and try finding something that fits your dovetails (http://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?t=105190). If your slide or the sight needs to be milled, things can get expensive quickly.

Then you may have to go straight to the sight manufacturers and maybe ask questions...

What type of sights are you wanting to install? Something like the Novak adjustables? Bomar style?

From Novak website:

PARA ORD LDA




Milling NOT REQUIRED.

This item is NOT AVAILABLE at the Online store.

Call the shop (304-428-2676) for installation instructions.

No milling. That's good news. They only mention the LDA model though, which I thought was strange. Don't all Paras have the same dovetails? I thought they did, but maybe not...
