I posted recently asking for experiences with replacement rear sights for a 3913. Evidently not many of you have tinkered with those specifically, so I figured I'd broaden the question since many different models used the same Novak dovetail. So who out there has put something different on your gun and how did you like them? I'm looking for some nights sights or adjustable sights or some combination thereof. The Novak sights are hard to beat I know, but you know how it is...a man has to screw with things that are already darn near perfect! Pictures are of course welcome.

I put Meprolight night sights on my 1026 that I bought with the regular Novaks. Some had psoted here that the Novaks were the only ones that would maintain the lines of the pistol, but I didn't really see that much difference. I posted up some comparative fotos of the before and after that should still be hanging around in the past threads.

I prefer the Mepros because my eyes are getting older and their larger dots help -- both day and night.

Someone else posted a reference to Champion sights. They have a nice looking adjustable rear. However, they seem to focus on 1911 so I'm not sure how the sights would do on another gun type.

Novaks makes a neat little adjustable sight that fits there dovetail, Brownells have them I believe and think I saw them in The Bluepress also. Price was around $60 I believe.
