Norinco NP-29 9mm

[Undergiver]

Does anyone know if the sights on the NP-29 can be replaced with after market 1911 sights ?

I'm thinking not. Probably an odd ball dove tail.

PM member "Ganderite". He has a lot of experience with replacing Norc sights.

Measure it and go on brownells.
You can order sights based on the dimension.
And like most gunsmithing, fitting may be required.

If I remember correctly, the rear sight is a Colt dovetail size. The front is different.
As mentioned above, remove sight, measure and go from there.

I put a set of Truglo TFO novak on mine, but they had to be fitted.

From what I have read, any sight made for the Colt Government will fit. Here is a link about dovetails and some available sights from the US.

Don't select the Bomar or Novak type dovetail or you will definitely have to the slide cut and sights fitted.

The rear sight is a series 70 Colt dovetail. The front dovetail does not match anything that I have found. I have used the Brownell's catalogue to find suitable front sights that can be modified (ie filed) to fit.
