Which do you prefer? I`ve got a flat one on my "loaded" Springfield but I`m thinking about going to an arched one. When I grip my 1911 the front site is always pointing low for me I`m hoping the arched one will help raise the front of the pistol. -Todd |
I have two 45s one of each(flat/arched). I don't seem to have trouble with the transition between the two.|
Arched with Lanyard loop. Both of mine are set up this way. I like it better. www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=5&f=49&t=42915

It all depends on the shooter. What may feel correct for one shooter, may not work for another. Bottom line is go hit a gun shop and see what will work best for you (what feels right). P.S. If you are not part of a special weapons and tactics team, please change your aviator!!! There are members here that are of such, and is a dishonor to them for you to use it if you are not (read it’s a badge/symbol that they have earn through hard work, and not something you slap up with your screen name to try to be a poser with). |
Damn ! Now the "cat's out of the bag!". I'm not really "Captain America" and I apologize to those here that thought I was.   |
 www.novaksights.com/Gary%20Paul%20Johnston.html#The_history_of_the_ONE-ASS-TO-RISK_logo. It's a freakin' BRAND from GP Johnston that just happened to be OK'd for wear for some .mil. Ever notice that pistols with the 1* have to have certain features? It's because GPJ says it has to have them in order to wear his logo. I guess since YoBo or Novak aren't "Operators" they're dishonoring SWAT guys? Even worse if a non-"Operator" owns a 1* pistol, they must be the ultimate poser. Or ever worse, the fire departments that wear them, I mean, they're not SWAT, they're not even PO-lice. The horror...  PS. Unless you're an accomplished anime illustrator or comic book...errrr...I mean, "Graphic Novelist" , you might want to change your "aviator" [sic]. It's a dishonor to true artists, and only labels you as a poser.

You better hope the real Captain America doesn't find out. He'll be insulted. |

Flat housings just make the gun point low for me, where as the arched housings make it point perfectly for me. On a side note, I just replaced the flat housing on a Kimber Custom II, and was shocked as heck to find out that the original housing was plastic. What's this world coming to? |
| For some reason, I really shoot very well with an arched MSH and they just seem to "fit" my hand. I think it's because the gun I grew up shooting was my dad's 1911 and it had an arched MSH. My favorite gun has a flat MSH, and my second favorite has an arched one. Either works fine for me, but if I had a choice I'd go with the arched. |
That's unfortunately more common than I think you'd expect... |
The MSH that came on my Colt Gunsite CCO was plastic. |
