I'm trying to figure out which sights I need to get for my Springfield TRP. I'm a Glock guy and there is way less I need to worry about buying sights for those.
I prefer Warren Sevigny sights on my Glocks, with a plain black rear and a fiber optic front, and I would like to do the same with this. While looking up the sights on Brownells, I see this in the description: "Sevigny Competition rear sight fits the popular Novak slide cut and features a square notch, rear face angled slightly back to eliminate glare... blah blah blah". link I look on my gun and see a Novak sight: 
Stock picture 
I see on the Brownells Q&A section, in that link: Will these sights fit on a Springfield TRP? Mark from Roseville, MN. No, it will not. Brownells from Montezuma, IA  I'm not sure where to go from here.

Do the chat with an expert thing on Brownells' website.
Generally, the people answering questions like that on the site are either dumb, incorrect, or misinformed. I'm pretty sure the TRP uses a Novak cut for the sights so they should fit fine. I'd look at mine but I'm at work right now. |

The pictures look like they would match to me. |

The rear sight is a Novak cut, just loke everything.
The front is Springfield's proprietary dovetail. Send the slide to Springfield and tell them what you want. They'll make it happen. Their custom shop is tops, and quick. FWIW, Warren sights look like shit on a 1911. A 10-8 rear will look a helluva lot better... |

Springfield's custom shop is top notch. They do sights and do 'em well. About the only two places that I would send a slide for sights is Springfield or Novak.
I'd also let just about any 'smith on 1911addicts do it, but they're usually way too busy. |

I'd go with a XS night sight front ( standard size not the big dot) paired with a 10-8 rear.
Gives a great ball in gutter picture and really draws your eye to the front day or night. |

Let me know if you get lucky, if I'm not mistaken those are 375 high and they are out of stock everywhere. |
