I have a series 80 Colt Commander with stock fixed sights and they suck:p Looking for a smith to mill the slide for nice aftermarket maybe a Novak or something similar for aging eyes. Either that or sell as is and buy a newer one the adjustable sights and fibre front, hmmm.
 
The sight makers all make sights to fit the stock Colt dovetail. LPA makes a nice adjustable sight to fit. I have a couple with that sight installed.

I had the rear sight notch milled wider to better suit my old eyes.

Thanks for the info, Wantstall sells the one you mentioned. BTW how high does the sight sit? Did you have to change the front sight? Would you mind posting a picture of the sight on pistol? Thanks.
