Ruger SR1911 Night Sights

[Water63]

I have a Ruger SR1911 and have thought about putting night sights on it. It is not my primary carry gun but all the guns I do carry have night sights. I found a set of Kimber night sights used for a reasonable amount. Will these fit the Ruger SR1911? I can't seem to find a good answer searching I think the sights are Tru Glow TFO's. I have read bad things about them but for the asking price I am willing to give them a try if they will fit.

No, they will not fit. Ruger uses a standard NOVAK cut and the Kimber cut is a meprolight cut. You can open the mep cut up to Novak with a Novak cutter though.
