Anyone recommend new sights for the above pistol. My eyes are not what they used to be. I know one of the biggest issues right now is sourcing anything pistol related but first I need to decide what would work best before I pursue.
 
SR1911 should be a Novak dovetail so their front sights will work but having had both both Novak fibre optic and Dawson for my eyes I found the Novak fibre size too big and blurred out for any real fine accuracy work. Dawson’s smaller rod and counter sunk design pop faster more me, Freedom Ventures can bring in anything from Dawson it just takes a while but there are a few state side stores that can ship to Canada if they have what you want(Speed Shooters Inc)

Well I emailed freedom venture and they said they could order sites from Dawson as long as they know the size. Therein lies the problem for me as I've never measured for sites before. And somebody point me in the right direction on exactly what it is I have to measure on the sights to get accurate measurements. For instance do I measure at the widest part off the bottom off the dovetail versus the top of the dovetail etc. I'm in no real big hurry to order just one of those things I would like to do. The gun is fairly accurate but I just have a hard time picking up that front blade even though I have it tipped with orange paint
