Out with the old...

[Marinegator82]

I have a Colt Commander 1911 .45 and I want to replace the factory sites. Getting older and want a adjustable sight or red dot. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I would start by looking at websites of high end name brand manufacturers of 1911 match grade pistols, such as Kimber, Sig, Colt and Springfield Armory. They have shops that modify and upgrade their pistols using after market sights. Usually match grade pistols have larger than average sights to begin with. As for a "red dot" sight for a pistol, I would go to the name brand pistol scope websites or firearm parts dealers, such as Brownells.
Are there any competitive shooters using red dot scopes on their pistols? But, if you are like me, I don't 100% trust websites to tell me the truth. I like the input of fellow shooters such as this forum. I'm really shocked that I was the only one to reply. I hope someone else can chime in with better info. Good luck.

I thought there were rules against that kind of depravity on the forum

It's also in the wrong forum.

Buy a new pistol with a red dot or sights you like and leave the old colt alone.
