| Im curious if XS makes any 1911 sights that DONT have to have a dovetailed frame. I would much rather not have the slide cut. Any info would be very much appreciated. |
| I dovetailed the front of my RIA and installed a set of XS sights. These sight are wonderful, only problem is that I cant hit the target AT ALL with them on the pistol now. I need to do some major work bringing the rear sight up some. I hand cut the dove tail for the front sight which was not that big of a deal, and if the pistol would be hitting correctly then it would be great as the sights are just super fast, I have never used a faster set of pistol sights before, but the rear sight is just extremely low. |
| Update on my sights, I just did some work on them, opening up the rear dovetail everso slightly and raising the rear sight up. Shoots like a dream now. Wonderful sights. I also would like to say that my first set the tritum on the rear sight was dead on arrival so I called the company and they had a replacement set to me in less than two days, no questions asked. Great customer service and a great product. I will get a set for my M&P 40 next if they make them. |
Which model is that rear sight? Their website (and catalog) are pretty vague about which models are which. I want a low-profile rear like yours but it will be on a 5" 1911. |
| I don't know what model it is. I bought it directly from XS Sight Systems as a Big Dot 24/7 set for my XSE Commander. I suspect the rear sight for your Government Model would be the same one. I'd suggest calling them and telling them what you want. I found them to be very helpful when I was looking for sights for my pistol. |
