Sooo. I'm updating a Colt Mk IV 80's series combat commader and bringing her into the modern age. It has the retro sights and I'm planning on having AllenM mill out some Novak or Heinie dovetails and putting new sights on it so it's a more viable carry gun.
I have Trijicon HD's on my G19 and am considering those, and I've also been reading about all black rear sights with fiber optic or gold bead front sights as the best option, as there are no rear dots to "distract" the sight picture. I like the idea of having similar sight pictures for both guns but they're different beasts to shoot. I'm only 30 so failing eyesight isn't really a factor in choosing them either .
I'm asking those well-versed in 1911 sights and EDCing 1911's to chime in with thoughts about what they use and why.
