Re: How to mount an optical sight on my 1911
I don't have that problem,I took a handgun with me to my eye exam to have my optometrist make me a set of eyeglasses that i could use for shooting. I was lucky as it turned out that my reading glasses were the same as my shooting glasses.
Another thing to consider is having your optometrist grind your prescription vertically next to the nose piece of your glasses so that you do not have to tip your head back if you wear bifocals like i do.We the people love our country so let the government fear us.

Re: How to mount an optical sight on my 1911
In my desk, I have one of those mounts that replaces the left grip. Always worked fine, no need to modify the pistol at all. Mount is picatinny so you can simply change out optics till you find the one that works for you.If you think about it, this type of mount isn't subject to the level of recoil stress that a slide-mounted optic would endure. Also, you can still use the iron sights. Just another idea.
