1911 rear sight question

[bugler]

I own a Dan Wesson Pointman Major 1911 that has and adjustable rear sight with a section going forward from the base to about half way to the port opening......was told this is illegal, What do you Wild Bunch gurus say? It does NOT go on the slide forward of the ejection port.....

What I see looking up that model, is that the rear sight is either a Millett or Bo-Mar-style rear target sight, adjustable.   It is almost certainly a legal rear sight for a "Modern" category 1911.  Not even close for Traditional category for a lot of reasons after taking 5 minutes worth of look at a video about them.  What did this little birdie tell you made the gun illegal for Modern?   There might be other reasons for failing Modern checks, but a sight base and adjustable sight would not be one.

Gun was made as a hardball gun, as I understand, so you should not be surprised if you need to tune the barrel and feed ramp some to feed lead bullet loads.

good luck, GJ

Had to do with the rib on the slide part of the rules.
