Night Sights on a Colt Gold Cup .45

[xmanpike]

Hi guys. I own a SS Colt Gold Cup Trophy .45. I love the gun and the adustable Bomar sights, but with it had night sights on it. This is the first pistol I have ever owned, and do not know what road I should take in regards to getting them put on. I guess my question is, can I have them drilled into my existing sights? Do I need to order them new? And it loks like Trijicon and Mepro seem to be pretty popular, any thoughts on either of those?
Thanks

are any of these night sights adjustable?

The standard Bo-mar sight-cut is different (deeper, multi-leveled) than the standard fixed Novak cut. There IS recently an outfit (I'll try to find them) offering a fixed (combat) rear night-sight made to fit the Bo-mar cut. MMC makes adjustable night-sights as does Capsian & Wilson (I think) but I'm not sure which slide cut they require. I don't know of anyone retro-fitting Bo-mar adjustables with tritium inserts.

With a Gold Cup your pretty much screwed. The rear sight cut is special to the Gold Cup. To my knowledge nobody makes a rear Nightsite for this pistol.

And the rear leaf is too thin to install vials in.

Does a genuine "Bo-mar" branded rear sight come from the factory on a Colt Gold Cup Trophy? Because if it does, I think it'll be a standard Bo-mar sight cut, not "special" to the CGC. And if it doesn't...then maybe the gun was modified to a Bo-mar cut before the OP bought it? Or did Bo-mar make a special sight-base especially for GCGs to be installed at the Colt factory? I ask because I DO NOT know. Thanks!
