I was hoping someone could suggest a new rear sight I might try for my blued 1991A1. I was hoping for a drop-in part that I could use with my existing staked-in front sight.

I'm looking for something faster to pick up than the factory sight.

Novak makes one specifically as a replacement carry sight, and there may be many others. Get ahold of a copy of Brownells catalog, best Christmas catalog you've ever seen.

Check out Chip McCormick. I am almost positive he make a drop in type sight for 1911s. Reminds me alot of a Novak Low Mount sight. Chip does good work for reasonable prices.

This is the one I used. I did replace the front sight because I wanted one that was serrated, but it was the same height as the original on my 1991. The rear sight should work just fine.

Kings also makes some rear sights that fit the factory dovetail. www.kingsgunworks.com

This is the one that I got from Brownells and it was a drop in fit. It is a Novak style window box type. It is for the three dot system and it works perfectly for me.

Thanx for all the replies! I will have to place a Brownells order pretty quick.
