Hi everyone,
First time posting so I'm sorry if I'm posting incorrectly or in the wrong area.
I recently got a fantastic deal on a Colt .45 Combat Commander. Its a superb gun, but I'm having a problem with the rear sight on it.
Someone, at some point, put an MMC Adjustable rear site on it. Per Gary Thiry (gunsmith) it was a very common mod because one didn't have to replace the front sight, just the rear. The problem, though, is that the rear slide has to be opened up a bit to fit a slightly larger sight.
My problem, in short, is that the rear sight on mine is worthless. I moves all over the place and appears to be beyond repair. A replacement, however, seems to be almost impossible to find.
Has anyone run into this? Anyone know of a sight that will fit? Gary is trying to track down another sight but I just thought I'd check here, since you guys are all so awesome :)
Thanks!
