I had a bit of an accident  today.    I fell hard on some steps.  My right hip is pretty bruised, but my  commander took a beating.   The rear sight is broke off.  It was the only thing damaged in the fall.   This was my 1st 1911 and totally started the sickness.

I have been looking for a few hours for a replacement, but I can't right one.  Close, but not exact.






I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

When you get to a certain age the Prime Directive changes to, Don’t Fall.

Sorry I can’t help.  My 1911 I just take it to a smith I trust and say, change out the sights.

I remember when I used to say that as well. My avatar was taken when I was 49. I guess I needed to verify that I was still young enough to bounce back up.  I didn't bounce!
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

So there is nothing on Gunbroker, Numrich or Brownell's websites.  Like you said maybe cylinder & slide.
Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.
It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.
