Dirty Southpaw Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 in the handbook it says the 1911 sights may be painted.... now I'm a rookie but I saw someone using neon green paint on there 1911 sights, is this kind of thing allowed, I know the rules are more specific for the rifle but on pistol its vague.... so are neon colors ok on your 1911?

J. Frank Norfleet Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Yes, if you shoot modern. Not for traditional. I used neon green until I went to a brass bead. JFN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boggus Deal Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Samuel, Wilson Combat also sells finished gold bead sights. I like the SDM ones better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Frank Norfleet Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Sam, There are a number of bead front sights. The SDM is large and mounted with a .140 U notch rear sight made by 10-8 it gave me the sight picture I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Wayne Novak has made real gold front sights for years. (I've had one for about 10 years) Also has nice rear sights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
