Larry Vickers LAV Professional 1911 Bo-Mar BMCS Adjustable Rear Sight
Built for serious 1911 shooters who demand a clean sight picture and precise adjustments, the Kensight LAV Professional Adjustable Rear Sight brings Larry Vickers' purpose-driven sight design to the proven Bo-Mar BMCS sight pattern. Developed as part of The Professional Sight Series, this rear sight combines competition-ready features with the precision and quality expected from Kensight.
Designed for a Fast, Clean Sight Picture
The LAV Professional rear blade features a 0.140-inch-wide by 0.120-inch-deep notch. This wide, deep opening provides generous light around the front sight, helping the shooter find and center the front blade quickly. The 0.140-inch notch also pairs well with Kensight 0.140-inch-wide ProGlo front sights.
Unlike a conventional fully serrated rear blade, the LAV Professional blade is serrated only to the bottom of the sight notch. This purposeful design helps reduce glare while keeping the sight picture clean and uncluttered. The rear blade is also 0.020 inch taller than a standard Kensight blade to provide the additional notch depth specified for the LAV Professional design.
Made for Competition Shooters
On the range, small details matter. A competition sight needs to provide a repeatable sight picture, positive adjustment, and consistent performance. The LAV Professional sight is built for shooters who value those details, whether shooting 1911 matches, practicing for competition, or working to improve accuracy at the range.
Audible click adjustments for both windage and elevation provide distinct adjustment feedback as the shooter zeros the rear sight for the pistol, ammunition, and preferred point of impact. The serrated target-style rear blade helps control reflected light, while the rounded blade profile reduces sharp exterior corners for a smoother, less snag-prone design. The wide, deep notch creates an open sight picture designed for quick visual reference to the front sight.
Fits the Bo-Mar BMCS Adjustable Sight Cut
The Kensight LAV Professional 860-887 is designed for 1911 pistols machined for the Bo-Mar BMCS adjustable rear sight cut. This sight pattern is commonly used on competition and custom 1911 pistols, including select models from Les Baer, Ed Brown, and Nighthawk Custom.

Technical Specifications
The Professional Sight Series by Larry Vickers
The Professional Sight Series is a collaboration between Kensight and Larry Vickers. A retired U.S. Army Master Sergeant and veteran of U.S. Army Special Operations, Vickers brings decades of professional firearms experience to the design. His input helped define the distinctive 0.140-inch-wide by 0.120-inch-deep rear notch used throughout the LAV Professional series.
The concept is straightforward: give serious shooters a clean, open rear sight picture combined with the precision construction expected from Kensight. The result is a purpose-built 1911 rear sight that brings Larry Vickers' design preferences together with Kensight's experience manufacturing precision pistol sights.
For competition, training, or serious range use, the Kensight LAV Professional series is built for shooters who pay attention to the details that matter when the sights come onto the target.
