Sights for the Remington 1911 R1

A title with "front sight" or "rear sight" means a single part. All other sights are sets of front and rear sight.

Which sights to choose

• You want to zero for your ammunition or shoot competition: adjustable sights. You set windage and elevation with screws.
• You want to keep your front sight: an adjustable rear sight alone.

Sight picture

Blank sights have a plain grooved surface without any marks. Fiber optic collects daylight and shines brightly at the range and in competition. White dots give contrast without glowing.

Installation

Most pistol sights sit in a dovetail. You drift the old sight out and the new one in with a sight pusher or a punch. See Installation tools.

For all sights of this brand, see Sights for 1911 models.

Frequently asked questions
