Swiss Products made taller Swiss M1911 sights will be available in a few weeks.

"Guisan" will sell them worldwide, including the US of A, and I will have the Canadian market.

Original sights are for minimum of 300m.
These new ones are tall enough to go much shorter distance.
Filing the top of the blade maybe neccesary to suit your individual rifle at 100yds/meters, and blueing.
Dovetails will be much better fit than most other options, but some minor filing still might be needed.

Usable for Swiss 96/11 and 1911 long rifles, not K11.

New Swiss Products 96/11 and 1911 extra tall front sight blade on left, Original sight on right.











Note that new sight is a bit wider for those with "experienced" eyes.

I have one of them from Guisan installed on Model 1911 and it works perfect.Just punch old sight off and install new one.

I didn't file mine down but I shoot casts so It works out just fine.

Do you have a k11 one? If I ever get mine to shoot straight I will need one!

K11 and K31 use the same blades. I have a few original blades in original 5 sizes.

Sadly, most likely will not be tall enough to correct for cast loads at 100yds with the K11's 300m rear sight

Here is a post on the original sizes.

Guisan did have some taller K11/K31 sights made for cast shooters.

If you're wondering if the 1911 sights can be used on a 1889....
