Kensight - GI Series - Colt M1911-A1 Series '80 Tenon 0.125"- Tritium Staked Patridge 1911 Front Sight, 0.150" Tall (Pair with fixed Mil-Spec or Fixed NOVAK Rear)

The M1911-A1 Series 80 tritium front night sight is a direct replacement for the Colt Series '80 Gold Cup Pistol with a fixed MIL-SPEC rear. This sight is what is called a patridge style blade. It is ideal for target shooting because the rear of the blade is completely vertical. With the addition of a serrated blade, this gives the shooter a better sight picture because there is virtually no glare from the sun, as well as a good contrast between it and the rear sight. At just .150" tall, this sight was made to pair with Kensightitem 860-202 but will work well with any standard fixed MIL-SPEC .330" wide x .115" deep rear sight. The blade dimensions are .150" tall x .118" wide and has a .125" tenon to fit a '80 Series Colt. The Green tritium insert is made and installed by Cammenga, is .077" in diameter and has a bright white outline made of PVC.

No exceptions. Authentic Kensight Sights - The Professional's Choice This is an authentic Kensight sight, and not to be confused with other brands. When it comes to durability, and features the Kensight sights far exceed our competitors. Our sights are Wire-EDM machined from a single billet of 4140 chrome-moly steel. The result is a precision sight built with better materials and the Wire-EDM construction ensures the tightest tolerances possible. This translates to ultra-smooth adjustments, audible clicks for both windage and elevation, and consistent dovetail dimensions in which the "industry standard" CNC construction cannot compete.
