1911 sights - What size to buy?

[BerksCountyDave]

How do I know what sights to buy when buying new ones for a 1911? For example, how do I choose what size sights to buy here:

I want a set of these for my Para 1911 and the Springfield I'm buying next week.

Thanks for any help!

Not to be snide...but a call to either SA, Brownells, or Novak would probably give you the answer. Any of them should be able to tell you what height sight is on the SA guns.

It depends on what you mean. There are several different sight cuts for the slide and then there are several different sight widths and heighths.

I prefer a narrow .090 front sight width with a fiber optic since the fiber makes the sight more visible anyhow.

Lycan, I thought SA only used Novak cuts for their front dovetails...?

That just leaves width (preference) and height (what's in question).

[Lycanthrope]

Yes, but I thought the Para cut was different.

Yes, but I thought the Para cut was different.

Gotcha...I don't know much about them, myself.
