I have recently purchased the Springfield .9mm 1911 RO Elite Model. The fiber optic on the front sight keeps breaking/falling off. I am ready to change to a regular 3 dot sight system. I would prefer like a red dot up front and white in the rear. Any recommendations. Also I have been told with that model gun, it needs to be a Novak style. The size is .330 by 60 degrees. Please advise.

Phillipe, I would just switch over to the more durable Dawson Precision Novak Cut Fiber Optic Front Sight    -------  (just click the .330 link)   ----  https://dawsonprecision.com/novak-cut-fiber-optic-front-sights/

Michael W. · Answer

Phillipe, When you replace the fiber optic cord really melt the ends well. Keeps from falling out. If you don't get it hot enough it will fall right out.
