1911 National Match Rear Sight – Compact Kensight Reproduction
This rear sight is a faithful recreation of the original 1960s-era KENSIGHT that helped shape our brand’s reputation. Commonly known as the “1911 National Match Sight,” it delivers a clean, classic appearance paired with dependable performance trusted by serious shooters.
The sight features a windage adjustment system inspired by the proven ELLIASON design, offering smooth and reliable adjustments. Built at approximately 4/5 the size of standard fully adjustable 1911 rear sights, it provides a more compact solution without sacrificing function.
Its reduced profile makes it an ideal choice for custom “low-melt” installations where space is limited and a clean, low-profile fit is required. This design is especially well-suited for gunsmith applications that demand both precision adjustability and a minimal footprint.
If a front sight is included, please note it features a shorter-than-standard tenon and must be silver soldered in place for proper installation. This configuration remains true to the original Kensight sight sets, preserving the authentic GI adjustable sight design.

Replace broken Elliason on WWII Govt Model
Was really worried that this might not fit, but was happy it was within .002 of my dovetail. So some minor fitting and the Old 1911 is back in business. Really grateful as good Iron sights are getting scarce. Very nice site thank you!

Perfect Match for my ramped NM Patridge front sight
Bought an NOS Slide NM7791435 July 1986. Came bare except for the front sight. Shane was a great help finding the correct rear sight. Thanks so much!! This pistol is a work in progress. 1958 Sistema frame. Some lapping of the new sight base required, A good tight fit assembled with red locktite. So far so good. Now I have to work on the very heavy military spec trigger. Quick sight picture and shoots good with my 65 year old eyes. Left eye dominant, right handed, both eyes open.
