Description
Designed specifically for the Dan Wesson 1911 and Commander, this sight set features our rear Ledge design. The military inspired sight design combines the best features of our Classic and SlantPro with a few of its own that sets it apart from your target or EDC sight. Equipped with a wide square notch for quick acquisition of the front sight, the rear face slants forward and is serrated with contoured edges (so it can be carried every day without worry of snagging). The Ledge was designed with a lip that allows the operator to cycle the slide with one hand easily, giving you an advantage in any situation. The Heinie Straight Eight night sight system puts this set over the top as a must have. One single tritium insert in the rear (for low-light and night-time shooting) that aligns vertically with the single tritium front insert (when used as a set) creates a distinctly clear sight picture. This vertical alignment is proven to be faster and less confusing for the human eye.
These sights are built for speed, accuracy and one-handed manipulations of the slide. The legendary Straight Eight configuration is easy to use and fast to acquire without the confusion of the traditional horizontal alignment of 3 dots.
This rear sight has a melonite finish (rust resistant) and utilizes the Heinie EZ-Lock mechanism that allows the sight to slide smoothly into the rear dovetail yet remain secure on your slide once installation is completed properly. Installation instructions are provided.
Cross Dovetail front is serrated with a single tritium insert (no outline). It has a blued finish, rust preventative is recommended. Minor fitting required for installation.
