If so could you please share a picture of the direct side view then a picture of the sight view from the rear? These sight companies fail to show most of there sights actually mounted on guns and google doesn't bring much up!

I am interested in this particular sight but don't want something that hangs way back on the slide or sits way above the slide like most LPA's I have seen. Also wanting a good sized target sight blade but in a drop in sight.

Thanks in advance ! :cool:
 
It does hang off the back of the slide a bit. I put the same model on my Norc 1911. It doesn't get in the way of cocking the hammer though.

Mine is the two dot model and are 10x better than the stock ones.

No pics as I dont feel inclined to set up photobucket b.s.

That is the gun I intend to put it on sometime. Is there a big gap between the top of the slide and the bottom of the sight? I have seen the LPA adjustable sights added to CZ 75's and Sig P226's and they straight up look out of place.

No large gap between the slide and sight, maybe 1mm. But the gap needs to be there for elevation adjustments. Dovetails matched up perfect, I pushed it on with my Ncstar uni sight tool.

You'll definitely love it, it made a world of difference over the factory ones.

Thanks for the info, did you just use the original front sight post?
