Which sights to choose

You want to zero for your ammunition or shoot competition: adjustable sights. You set windage and elevation with screws.
You want to keep your front sight: an adjustable rear sight alone.

The sights in detail

Adjustable rear sights from LPA, in blank, white dots and white lines. You keep your front sight and set windage and elevation on the rear sight with screws.
Adjustable sights from LPA, in blank, fiber optic, white dots and white lines. You set windage and elevation with screws, so you can zero them for your ammunition.

How to zero adjustable sights

Shoot a group at a fixed distance. Move the rear sight in the direction you want the point of impact to move: to the right to move hits to the right, up to move hits up. Turn the screw a few clicks at a time and shoot again.

Sight picture

Fiber optic collects daylight and shines brightly at the range and in competition. Blank sights have a plain grooved surface without any marks. White dots and white lines give contrast without glowing.

Installation

Most pistol sights sit in a dovetail. You drift the old sight out and the new one in with a sight pusher or a punch. See Installation tools.

For all sights of this brand, see Sights for 1911 models.
