Night sights for a 1911PC (help!)

[tomovich]

I have one of my fellow deputie's Smiths that needs a set of night sights. It's a "1911 PC" which has the long adjustable rear "target" sight. Can anyone steer me to a part number for a meprolight, trijicon, PT or whatever, that has the correct set up. I don't seem to be able to find one anywhere.

THANKS in advance!!!

This place I bought night sights before for the SW1911. I'm not sure if these will work or not as I am not sure what the PC gun looks like.
Several to choose from..

It's the 1911 style gun with a regular dovetailed front style and a longer "plate" type rr sight that sits in a machined out top section of the rr slide and is adjustable. It's maybe 1 1/4" long and as wide as the slide...........???

Does that help?

Is it the same as the standerd SW1911?

I'd assume it will work, but can't guarantee it without seeing it.

Gotcha, I know it's a 1911 Smith and the model # is 1911PC. At least it's a lead and I'll have to bring the gun in by the computer with a set of calipers and do some calculating I reckon. Thanks man! Ahhh, Glocks, SIGS, HKs and reg 1911's have been SO easy..............

There are even fixed sight replacement systems being offered now. But my personal favorite is the XS sight systems big dot replacement sights. I would pick up the latest brownell's or midway usa catalog and give them a call. The brownell's tech staff is amazingly helpful and can point you in the right direction and let you know what size the dovetails are and what tools you're going to need to install them. Hope this helps and good luck with your buddy's pistol and let us know how it turns out.

I have the pistol here in front of me.....sweet trigger for a stock gun. anyway, the front sight is a typical .375 dovetail but the rear sight, a Wilson Combat ajustable doesn't even appear to HAVE a dovetail. Just a huge screw centered in the body portion. Sound familiar?? It sits in a double depth milled out flat portion but no visable dovetail???

Wilson Combat carries replacement blades with the night sight inserts. You should probably call them and make sure it is a direct replacement for the sight blade that is there.

That makes sense, go the proprietary route with the non dovetail body. Thanks for the lead.
