1911 Dovetail Front Sight, .330"x.075"x65 degree (aka "Novak") dovetail, drilled for front roll pin. Our 1911 front sights are made from hardened 4140 bar stock for improved durability. They feature a narrowed front section to provide a clean sight picture even if the forward part of the blade is dinged up or dirty. All blades feature a 40lpi serrated front face for reduction of glare in all lighting conditions.

Will fit 1911 front dovetails from Nighthawk, Novak, Les Baer, Ed Brown, Rock River, Sig, and others. If you are not sure what height and dovetail dimensions you have, it is best to measure and/or consult with your pistol's manufacturer. Unmodified slides will require machining.  Please note that the roll pin hole location varies widely, and there may be a slight mismatch between our pin hole and whatever has been drilled in your slide.

The following 1911s do not use the .330"x.075"x65 degree dovetail, and this front sight will not fit them: Springfield Armory, Wilson Combat, pre-2010 production Colt XSE/Special Combat Government/Defender etc., Colt Gunsite, S&W 1911s, S&W E Series, Para Ordnance,  Dan Wesson, STI,  and SVI.  

Available in .175", .185", and .195" blade height. Measure your existing front sight if retrofitting or check with your gunsmith for height suggestions when scratch building.  Please note that each manufacturer and individual guns will vary in regards to what height is used, and there is no set standard height.  For a quick calculation of what height you might want, .007" of sight height equates to roughly 1" of elevation change at 25 yards.  If you must guess what height to use for a scratch build, try .185".
