1911 NATIONAL MATCH U-NOTCH REAR SIGHT

1911 NATIONAL MATCH U-NOTCH REAR SIGHT Reviews & Ratings

National Match style rear sight combines modern features with “retro” looks. Fits the dovetail of GI-pattern 1911 pistols, including current-production Colts—no milling required. Extra-thick blade is tall enough to work with Colt .175" high front sight or same-height aftermarket alternatives. Wide .140" notch aids in easy, fast acquisition of front sight for precise targeting. Ledge on front of blade aids in one-hand slide racking.

SPECS: Steel, matte black finish. .315” high, with .140” wide x .125” high notch. Fits dovetail for GI-pattern 1911 pistols, including current-production Colts with .175” high front sight.

Very pleased
Couldn't be happier. Fit with minimal filing. Great sight picture. Doesn't look out of place on a Mil-Spec gun.

Worked well
Installed on series 80. Needed some flat filing but fits fine. Did find some rust that I touched up with cold blue.
