I'm looking at an HP listed for sale online and trying to ID the rear sight. I did a Google image search for "Hi Power adjustable rear sight" and found just about every brand/variation...except this one. It looks familiar, but I just can't place what manufacturer it might be. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! Attached File |

Without better pictures I think it is an early Novak adjustable rear sight. I seem to remember a Hi Power adjustable rear sight with protective wings similar to the rear winged adjustable sight on the S&W 2nd generation 439/459. I can’t remember the manufacturer and couldn’t find any pictures. You might look at these sights. In the past it was not uncommon to mount sights intended for a different pistol if no sights were available. A common practice in the 70’s to 80’s was to mount S&W revolver adjustable sights on semi autos. When these sights were mounted low in the slide it was referred to as a melted rear sight. https://kensight.com/rear-1911-DAS-DFS-novak-sights/ |
