This is a win from a charity raffle. It's a Springfield Range Officer
1911 in stainless steel. It's a beautiful firearm:

Also in the package was a Surefire X300 Ultra weapon light that will
find a home on my Glock 23. They also included a custom leather holster
but I passed on that so the charity could save some money. I have no
plans to use an OWB holster even if open carry becomes legal here.

Raffle tickets cost $300 for a $1200 package.
That is a beautiful gun. I sure like the sights better than those on either the Kimber or the Ruger.
Good catch.
Thanks!

I don't recall which Kimber you own but here is one replacement for the
front sight on the Ruger:

Apparently that one's for the older SR1911's (from reading the reviews). I'm surprised there are no
dimensions given.

I put a dot of this: http://tinyurl.com/z9np3zn on the front sight of the Heritage .22 revolver.
What a difference that made! Might do the same to the Kimber before going to the gunsmith. Hell, the
damn thing works pretty good now if there's some light.

I didn't know they made a change and it's hard to tell what those
changes are. I'm sure my full-size is the older version but my
commander is most likely the new style.

I'm calling my gunsmith tomorrow to see if these will fit the Kimber. If he says yes, I'm going for
them.
