Getting a 1911 for the first time and have a rear sight question

[9mmepiphany]

It wasn't a swap, the smith just ground down the hammer and refinished it. It would depend on if you were planning on swapping out action parts and the quality of the engagement between sear and hammer

10-8 had a run of spur hammers that would work with a beavertail grip safety. I missed out on it, and that's why got the Harrison. Not sure when the next run is.

I dunno. For my money I tend to prefer the more purposeful look of the BattleHook sight.

RIA's do not have a true Novak sight cut. Modifications would be required.

IIRC, the rear notch is the same as a "true" Novak. Its the front sight that is cut slightly different.

The front sight is deeper than other common front sight cuts. Dawson Precision makes a sight that fits the front cut.
