Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 Front/Rear sights

[A14]

I was at one of the local gun shops today, and noticed one of the workers was carrying a Full Size Springfield 1911. It was gorgeous!! What i noticed was strange though. The sights were exactly what i have on my Glock. White outline fixed rear, with a ramped white front sight. I asked him wbout the sites, and he said as far as he knew they were factory as the gun was used when he acquired it. Well, i have not found any picture of the same sights on a 1911. I have looked on many forum sites and searched through thousands upon thousands of pictures of all types of 1911(pity me, hahaha jk).

Here is a picture of the type of rear sight i am speaking of.

And a picture of the front sight.

These are images of the ones i am speaking. If anybody has any ideas on where the original owner got these sights for a 1911 please let me know. I did not look like the rear dovetail had been modified. The sight was just as thick as a dovetail, which is a lot thicker than a glock. Thanks in advance for any information!

Re: 1911 Front/Rear sights

Dunno about the appropriate cut but LPA makes "post and bucket" 1911 sight sets.

Adjustable, yes, but I didn't notice anyone doing fixed.

Yeah, i have not either. I might see about putting the brownells glock adjustable white outline rear on my 1911. Now to just find a white ramped front haha. I will probably just order a black serrated from dawson presicion and white out it.

A14 - that is a nice set of easy to use sights.

I'm partial to Yost sights on my 1911s, give him a call, he's not too far away from you.
