[stocksuspension]

Whats up guys I just drosd a kimber custom 2 and im interested in upgrading night sights.which do u guys prefer, the trijicon night sights or the meprolight sights. Any input guys

[t0kie]

I think some Kimbers come with Meprolight sights, but my Springfield has Trijicon. I think both of them are good to go.

no!!!

Don't get mepro or trijicon.


Get Novak Night sights! I love mine, great sight picture and they look beautiful too.

I'm a fan of Novak night sights, which use Trijicon tritium inserts. They're the most accurate for me.

I ran Ameriglo on my Kimber Custom II. Loved 'em. Be warned, as with most 1911 parts some fitting might be needed. Best to have a pro install them.

Kimber uses a different dovetail cut then most manufactors so whatever you may sure it will work on a Kimber

What is the average a smith charges to install sights? Is this a job you can do at home? Or is it best left for the pros

I find Novak rears way too busy. I like Heinie's, preferably in the straight 8's.

Check out dawson precision also. Just put their FO sights on my RIA GI and love them. They have them for the Kimber in both FO and Tritium.
