Description
Springfield ® 1911A1 TENON STAKED PATRIDGE FRONT - .150" TALL (KENSIGHT ITEM# 870-111)
The Springfield Armory® tritium front night sight is a direct replacement for the 1911A1 with a fixed MIL-SPEC rear.
This sight is what is called a patridge style blade. It is ideal for target shooting because the rear of the blade is completely vertical. With the addition of a fully serrated blade, this combination gives the shooter a better sight picture because there is virtually no glare from the sun, as well as a good contrast between it and the rear sight. At just .150" tall, this front sight was made to pair with the Kensight item 860-202 but will work well with any standard fixed MIL-SPEC rear that is .330" wide x .115" tall.
The blade dimensions are .150" tall x .118" wide and has a .080" tenon to fit the Springfield Armory® 1911A1. The green tritium insert is made and installed by Cammenga®, is .077" in diameter and has a bright white outline made of PVC.
