Kensight (DAS) 1911 Sights Adjustable Rear Combat Sight White Dot, Serrated Blade - Fits Novak LoMount Sight Dovetail Cut
Kensight Gun Sights are used as original equipment for many of today's top manufacturers. This Kensight Defensive Adjustable Rear Sight is Fully Adjustable for both Windage and Elevation, and is an ideal low profile sight upgrade for a concealed carry pistol due to its thoroughly dehorned exterior with no sharp edges to cut hands or catch on clothing during the draw stroke. The rear sight body is Wire-EDM machined from 4140 Chrome Moly Steel that is then heat treated to a hardness of RC 38-40, ensuring tight part-to-part fit and long-lasting durability. Click-adjustments are positive and precise, allowing for reliable and consistent point of impact changes.
This Kensight Rear Sight is equipped with a Partially Serrated Slanted Blade for reduced glare, and incorporates a High Visibility White Dot on either side of the sight notch that helps to funnel the shooter's attention toward the front sight post. This rear sight fits the popular Novak LoMount rear sight dovetail cut, often found on many factory-produced and custom 1911 pistols. Fits certain model Springfield Armory, Colt, Wilson Combat, STI International, Les Baer Custom, Rock River Arms, Dan Wesson 1911s and many others.
Novak® LoMount™ Dovetail Sight Cut
The Novak® LoMount™ dovetail is a somewhat standard dovetail sight cut found on many popular factory-fitted (OEM) and custom platforms. The Kensight® DAS™ (Defensive Adjustable Sights) and DFS™ (Defensive Fixed Sights) are the perfect low profile upgrade for your concealed carry, or combat carry pistols, due to a smooth, thoroughly "dehorned", low-profile exterior. The benefit of this feature is there are no sharp edges to cut hands or catch on clothing during the draw stroke which compliments your concealed carry or defensive style 1911. This particular sight will only fit an existing Novak® LoMount™ 1911 dovetail. If you unsure of your current dovetail configuration and would like to know more about dovetail styles, click the button below.
Add The Optional Front Sight
A front sight with dovetail dimensions of 0.330" (Width) x 65° (Angle) x 0.075" (Depth) has become known as a “standard” front sight in the industry. While these were first seen on 1911 slides with the Novak LoMount rear sight, other OEM manufactures have adopted this same size for their 1911 platform. There are two basic configurations of the “standard” front sight base. One is the “Flat Base” style and the other is the “Contoured Base”. The dovetail dimensions are both the same, so the base selection is a personal preference depending on the profile on the top of your 1911 slide. We recommend that you check your existing front sight dovetail dimensions, before purchasing the standard front sight.
DAS™ Suggested Front Sight Height
The front sight height will greatly vary depending on your rear sight selection. Most of the Kensight DAS˜ (Defensive Adjustable Sights) will require a front sight height of 0.190” - 0.200” tall. We ship most of our DAS sight sets with the recommended 0.200” tall front sight. In some cases your existing front sight may work, but this could limit the amount of elevation adjust-ability in the rear sight. If you would like to learn more about front sight heights, visit our Front Sight Height Guide.
Compatible With Many of Today's Top Manufacturers
Our sights are compatible with many factory-produced and custom 1911 pistols. The Kensight DAS and DFS line of sights will fit certain models of Springfield Armory, Colt, Wilson Combat, STI International, Les Baer Custom, Rock River Arms, Dan Wesson 1911s and many others which include the Novak LoMount Dovetail sight cut. For a complete list, See our manufactures page. Most of these manufactures offer both a target style 1911, and a carry style, which include the Novak LoMount Dovetail cut.

Kensight works better than Novak on Colt Defender.
I use Kensight on my Colt Defender. The original Novak are not adjustable and for me the Kensight are the best one on Colt semi auto pistols.

Adjustable rear sight Novak Cut
Quality, well made. Oversized for a perfect fit with slight filing.

Takes 10mm like a boss.
Been running these sights on a Fusion 10mm 1911A1 that I built. Several hundred rounds later, including a lot of Underwood and some seriously mean hand loads; this read sight is still going strong. In fact, my newest 10m creation will be running the same Kensight front and rear sight combo.
