Novac cut only and in firm on FO front sight. Is there any difference in companies? I'm putting target sights on the rear and want my 1911 to be a tac driver. Want something small to make precise hits compared to a giant blob similar to XS sights. Whatcha got for me? Pics would be great to if you have time. Thanks!
 
First what brand of pistol? Are you sure it's a Novak cut? Second if I'm using a 1911 for most accurate shooting then I want a square back notch and a black narrow front blade so I can see light on either side of it. I like the fiber optic sights but the only pistols I run them on are for fast shooting like 3 gun. It's easier to pick up that green dot quickly than a black blade.
There are a lot of different cuts on slide dovetails. Wilson has their own special cut and you about need to send them the slide to get it to fit. As far as brand I've had Warren and they were fine.
