Let's first talk about what you want. Labeling something a "match" barrel is just a way to increase the price. Accuracy is based on consistent lock-up through the lugs and, to a lesser extent, a well fit barrel and bushing. Second, by "military" sights, are you talking about the original GI-style sights like on the original Colts or Springfield GI? They are tiny. Or do you mean something a little more like what is on the Colt XSE or Springfield Mil-Spec?

Here is my reproduction Colt with the the original, tiny sights.


Here is the slightly larger (and better) fixed sights (3-dot) on my 1980s Combat Elite. It's the same that is used on the current XSEs.


The problem is that any gun with a "match" barrel and a 3.5 to 4 pound trigger pull will not have true "military sights." I think your best bet may be to get a Dan Wesson RZ-45 Heritage and make a couple of modifications. The barrel/accuracy of the DW is quite good and internal parts are top notch. You'll have to do two modifications, a new trigger and new rear sights. The DWs use a Novak rear cut. You could get a Harrison Extreme Service rear sight which sorta' looks like "military" sights. http://shop.harrisoncustom.com/categ...style-cut.aspx or 10-8 low-mount sight: http://www.10-8performance.com/produ...ear-Sight.html
