Rugged Construction For Daily Carry; Offers A Clear, Easy-To-See Sight Picture
Fixed rear sight is precision machined from heat-hardened 4140 steel bar stock, so it withstands the wear and tear of daily carry, yet delivers a clear, precise sight picture. Perfect for concealed carry, duty, or combat pistols where a rugged, reliable rear sight is mission critical. Fully “dehorned,” with rounded and chamfered edges to prevent snagging on holster, clothing, or other gear that could impede draw. Easy-to-acquire .125" high U-shaped notch aligns quickly with a wide variety of factory-height front sights, including fiber optic, tritium dot, and gold beads. Rear face of the plain black blade has 40 lpi serrations for a glare-free sight picture under almost any light conditions; front of the blade has ledge contour to aid in one-hand cocking. A hard, manganese phosphate parkerized finish that matches many tactical pistol finishes adds strength and surface wear resistance. A hidden setscrew helps anchor the sight in the slide dovetail for extra-secure mounting and resistance to shifting under recoil. Cut to fit the popular Novak Lo-Mount-type dovetail.
SPECS: Steel, matte black finish. Fits Novak-style 65° x .500” dovetail. Standard - .325” high, available with .125”, .140”, and .156” wide notches.

Excellent for duty use(20/09/2009)
Been using this sight on my duty gun for years. Many top shooters agree the U-notch rear sight offers tremendous speed without sacrificing accuracy potential at longer distances. This sight has a non-distracting, serrated rear face that gives a crisp and clean sight picture that is fast to pick up, especially when used with a gold bead or dot front sight. Machining is very clean, and the sight notch is relieved in all directions to reduce reflection and glare. The sight is made of hardened steel which has helped resist high velocity encounters with the edges of gun lockers.
Try this sight. You won't be sorry.
Outstanding rear sight(10/01/2011)
Extremely fast, clear, crisp sight picture. The sight fit right into the existing Novak cut. This sight coupled with a single dot up front yields and extraordinary sight picture that's dead-on. While it is a little pricey for a single rear, it's worth every penny.
Would definitely buy again.

This is a high quality sight that I have used on multiple platforms in the past. I had my gunsmith mill the notch wider on past sights and so ordered this one this time around. He had no trouble installing - just slightly oversized which is what you want. I knew ahead of time what I was in store for with that .156 notch since I was pairing the 10-8 rear with a Novak Mega-Dot. I have to resort to this type of arrangement because of my eyesight. It has worked out great for everything up close and out to 25 yards. But Accuracy really dropped off past that and I just have to accept that.
So this is great for fast & close type of shooting but at distance it will be harder to be accurate.
Excellent Sight(13/09/2009)
I like how theyve done the ledge to aid in one handed slide racking. Also the U notch seems to help align the sights more naturally and the .140 notch seems to go perfect with a .125" front. Only thing that makes me wonder is the added cost to the wider notches.
excellent rear sight(23/04/2012)
Sight went on with no fitting required on my Springfield and works very well with factory front night sight. I really like the serration on the rear of the sight, they help me focus on the front sight faster/easier. Very pleased with my purchase.

Easy to install on a Springfield Loaded 1911. The .140" wide U notch rear with the existing .125" front sight made for a substantially improved sight picture.
