Has anyone managed to find a fibreoptic front sight for their Ruger 1911?Im having trouble with the stock sight and would like to find a FO sight

I know that Ruger makes a replacement sight,but unfortunately wont ship this to Canada.Any suggestions?
 
Find out what the cut is first. Dlask make some for 1911's but you will need to know what the dovetail cut is.
 
Its a standard lo-mount Novak cut on the SR1911. Should be able to fill your boots at Brownells, Fusion or Dawson. Note that the stock SR1911 sight is somewhat higher than standard (0.215" or so I believe), so if you like where it hits be sure to order a similar height.

Thanks for the reply.Quite a few companies make replacement sights for the ruger including Dawson,EGW and ruger themselves.The problem however,is that sights are on the "prohibited "list for sending to Canada.I guess these fibreoptic sights must be pretty sought after be Al Queda!

Hitzy,your suggestion of contacting Dlask is a good one,thanks
 
Get ahold of the folks at Locations Snapshot (Rugers Cdn warranty depot). They carry them. I contacted them about 1 a few months ago after Ruger advised they wouldnt ship a sight to Canada
