Kensight ProGlo - Tritium Night Sight w/ Lumi ORANGE Outline, Flat Base

Kensight® is proud to offer the new ProGlo™ style Ramped Front Night Sight. These highly visible front sights incorporate a self-illuminating Green Tritium Dot nestled within a bright Lumi Orange outline. The perfect combination that glows brightly in both low light and well-lit conditions. This is accomplished with the optimal color contrast between the front sight in ProGlo™ Lumi Orange color, and rear tritium sight with Arctic White outlines, or your basic black target rear sight. Based on studies and reviews, the extreme contrast helps quickly draw the shooter's eye to the front post, which allows quicker sight alignment and target acquisition.

This Front Night Sight comes equipped with a 0.140" wide blade and a Flat Base that is optimal for use with a flat-topped slide or for those who intend to file and blend the front sight base to match the contour of their pistol's slide for a seamless installation. Compatible with standard Novak type front sight dovetail cuts (0.330" x 65° x 0.075") as typically found on both custom and factory 1911 pistols.

GUNSMITH INSTALLATION RECOMMENDED

Standard Dovetail - Flat Base vs Contoured Base

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. Some 1911 platforms such as Springfield®, have a propitiatory dovetail. 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.
