Sights for 1911 models

Different dovetail cuts on 1911s

However, not all 1911s are created equal. One of the challenges in choosing sights for a 1911 is the variety of dovetail cuts used by different manufacturers. Some models use the traditional GI or Novak dovetail, while others may use LPA, Bomar, or proprietary cuts depending on the brand or even the specific series.

To make it more complex, front sight dimensions can also vary—some models are staked while others are dovetailed, and the height may differ depending on barrel length, slide profile, or intended use (carry vs. competition).

Why do we mention all this? Because selecting the wrong sights can lead to poor fit or incorrect point of aim. So how do you make the right choice?

How to choose the right sights for your 1911

To find the correct sights for your 1911, you need to identify the dovetail cut used by your slide (e.g., Novak, GI, Bomar) and whether the front sight is staked or dovetailed. Once you know that, you can browse the relevant collections below:

Still not sure which sights to buy?

If you're unsure which sights will fit your 1911, don't worry—just get in touch with us. We'll help you identify the correct configuration so you can buy with confidence.

Bonjour, mon expérience chez Optics Spot est très satisfaisante, produit conforme et reçu en 72h, j'ai du renvoyer l article car non compatible avec ma hausse et y a eu une très bonne communication avec Paul.
Les tarifs sont correcte les FDP aussi. Je recommande cette compagnie.

Everything ok.

Lieferung schnell wie angekündigt. Lieferstatus wurde mitgeteilt. Das Produkt passt wie bestellt. Alles ok, gerne wieder.

EXCELLENT!!!! As the Terminator says; I'll be back!

I ordered adjustable sights for my CZ 75 Shadow, but accidentally ordered the wrong one (without the white dots). I sent a mail on a Sunday, and that was answered the same day, and the order was changed instantly. The right set arrived from the Czech Republic to The Netherlands on Tuesday morning.

Thanks for the Excellent service Paul.

Beretta 92x Optic Plate Type B - AWESOME

Don't buy this from any other site...Optic Spot INCLUDES the pin set that you'll need to mount your optic, even the Beretta site does not include this. Was a PERFECT FIT and high quality!
