Poking around the safe. Due to the 9mm shortage, I'm shooting more .45acp. No matter how many newer guns I've purchased, the 1911 just seems to feel right. And I still shoot it effectively.
Looked at an ancient custom colt I had built some time ago, noticed the hienie nights sights were gone. Ledge sights which are great, but marked 06.
Could just replace them but thinking I prefer all black rears now. I do like the modern fiber optics, but thinking just replace the front with a brass bead or maybe just a new hienie front tritium? One of those ameriglo florescent night sights would be great but don't see a 1911 option.
Anyone else moving to different combos as we mature?
