1911 sights

[Expendable Nate]

I have been toying with upgrading the sights on my norc. I have the two tone "sports" model. Can any one recommend some rellitivly inexpensive sights? I know you get what you pay for but it's only a norc. Thanks all pics to if ya wanna share

Trijicons and Meprolites are around $150 depending on what type of firearm for front and rears. Fiber optic ones are also pretty cool although the fiber optic can/do come loose. I would suggest biting the bullet and pay up for the good stuff. They last at least 10 years. I just replaced Meprolites which lasted 25 years and could probably go on for at least 2 more. Inexpensive night sights could be an expensive mistake. Doesn't matter if they are on a Norc or a Les Bauer

I put a set of Truglo fibre optic sights on my Norc and so far so good. They were $50 from Brownells. They are for a Kimber, but mine is a GI, so I would have had to machine the slide no matter what sights I added. They are not adjustable though.

Any new set of sights will need fitting...factor in gunsmith costs and decide if it's really worth it.

Your best bet is to try EE first. There's almost always a steady flow of take off's that you can re-purpose. You'll have to put in a bit of time with a file or drill and tap a set screw or 2 but most novak/heinie style sights can be made to fit without a huge amount of effort.

Next best would be to source some older S&W plastic sights from a Sigma ( pn: 10792-1 ). Nice sight picture and easy to work with.
