I have a new Ruger SR1911 and love it. I would like to put on fibre optic front and an adjustable rear has anyone any luck with this and what sights do you recommend to switch to?
 
The fiber optic front is no big deal. Shop around on EE or check the site sponsors to see who's got stock, or as a last resort Brownells.

The rear sight is a bigger issue. Off the top of my head I can't think of an adjustable sight that '' drops in '' to a Novak cutout. Millet used to have drop in style adjustables for alot of guns but they stick out badly imo.
The traditional ' low mount ' 1911 require machining. Dlask or another good gunsmith could take care of it. Not sure what the going rate is ( 75-100 for the sight and another 75-100 for labour ).

On a 22 adjustables are really handy due to ammo variation. On a 45 it's less of a big deal. Find a brand that shoots well, adjust your sights to hit, and you're done.
