Raptor, your post sums it up perfectly. That's what I think.

Are the GI sights really bad? Did nt want to spend more money on tatical.


Thanks

Is it a GI or tactical model? And did you upgrade anything on the gun?

Thanks

I see. I thought I read somewhere in the Turner's thread that someone mentioned the Fathers day sale for the RIA 1911 was $409.

I have a compact GI with the factory GI sights. I think some people have been babied too much with fancy sights. I can shoot the gun pretty dang accurately with the GI sights. I highly doubt having 3-dots or anything else would make a big difference, at least for me.

I never shot with GI sights, but isnt it easy to align the front and back GI sights quickly as they are small? i understand if you have bad eye sight might have difficulty seeing through them.

Why does military uses GI sights, if they are horrible? I like the look of RIA GI compared to tactical.

Thanks
