This sight will fit the MIL-SPEC "GI" dovetail seen on most common 1911 A1 and Government 1911 configurations. The 0.200" tall rear sight, pairs nicely with a .150"-.180" tall front sight on a standard 5" slide. The sight includes two 0.080" Arctic White Dots for quick target acquisition.

I was looking for a replacement rear sight for my Regent R100 1911. After speaking with customer service they recommended the Kensight 1911 A1 MIL-SPEC Government Model "GI" Fixed Arctic White Rear Sight. After having my gunsmith replace the sights, I took it to the range this sight is great! Thank you
This sight was pretty easy to install. I filed a little bit off at a time and try it -if it was too tight, I would tap it out and file a little more. I like to put a very small bevel on the leading edge of the sight so it doesn't "plow" metal as it is installed. It's also to have an inexpensive bench pad to hold the 1911 slide while installing sights, but a wood block would probably work as well. If you don't have a sight pusher, be sure to use a brass punch so you don't damage the sight. The sight is very easy to see now with the two dots; I just put a white dot on the front sight so I can just line up the three dots. Big improvement over the factory Auto Ordnance 1911 mill-spec sights.
I used this rear sight on a 1911 build. I have this same sight on my other 1911 and have not had a problem. They have held up to the abuse of multiple days of side arm training and in every kind of weather and environment. Would recommend this sight.
