Fixing three dot front sight

The white insert came out of the front sight of my 1911 (no, it's not my Springfield)!!! :(
Now, there is just a hole where it used to be. :banghead:
Any ideas how to replace just the insert without having to go out and buy a whole new sight?? The gun is a IAI M5000, which is no longer made. I only spent $250 on it and don't want to put to much money into it. Now, that I have my Springer, it's not necessary anyway!! :rolleyes:

bury it in the desert. :)


seriously, either paint over the other two dots, or fill up the hole with model paint.

You can get a little can of Rust-Oleum white enamel paint and use a fine brush to fill in the hole. Clean and de-grease the sight first or it will just pop out again.
