Ok here goes-- My first Colt ever what a headache; this is how great guns at cheap prices are born !!
Colt 1991A1 Compact front sight falls off (Jul 2010) customer service has been no help can't give me sight hieghts or any specs; still to this day.
Order a front trijicon sight from a "popular" custom shop (won't drop names) it comes and is the wrong one (narrow tennon) send it back, recieve the wide tennon and run down to my local (40 miles away) gunsmith and get it staked in.
Here is where the fun begins; point of impact 4" low at 10 yds.
Figure no big deal; just order matching trijicon rear sight, right? Wrong !!
Call trijicon where they inform me my big name custom shops parts department sent me the wrong front sight, I now have a staked in Gov't front sight, oh well it is in now. But it gets better, their customer service department (not meaning to name drop here, have their sights on about 3 other guns) can't tell me which rear I need either as they don't know any of their sight hieghts.
So here is what i have
Rear is a factory Colt, I measure at 3/16 to the center of the dot and 1/4 overall height.
Front is a Trijicon CA-01F I measure it at 1/8 to the center of the dot and 3/16 overall.
Any body got a clue what i need for a rear sight to turn this paperweight back into a shooter? Thanks
