Re: Which night sights?
I've been very happy with my TruGlo TFOs in my XD. I've read mixed reviews about them, but bought them anyways. I had them for about three years and one of the fiber optics fell out. I called TruGlo and they had me send it in and they sent me a new one at no cost to me. I use this pistol for carry, competition and home defense. Make sure you at least take a look.

I tried TruGlo TFO's, also on an XD. One of the lamps failed with only range use in less than six months.Lumberjack98 wrote:I've been very happy with my TruGlo TFOs in my XD.

TruGlo replaced the sight under warranty for me as well, but I put those sights in my "last ditch use" parts box and replaced them with Trijicons.
TruGlos are pretty but delicate and don't meet my standards. I buy for quality that will survive rough use in the field.

Trijicon. They cost a little bit more but they are worth it IMO...
They are well built and I can attest to the fact that they can take a beating and still work.

Re: Which night sights?
I actually emailed them Thursday. The response was that they don't make night sights for the SA 1911. They suggested contacting Novak, and provided a link. I just need to find out the size of the cuts, and decide if I want to spend that much on the sights. I have Meprolights on my Glock, and have been very satisfied with them. I picked them up 2nd hand, but even new, they are less expensive that what I'm seeing on the Novak website.MrBrightside2 wrote:Trijicon. They cost a little bit more but they are worth it IMO...

You might try contacting Heinie Specialty Products. They don't specifically list the SA 1911, but their home page has a picture of one with their sights installed.KC5AV wrote:I actually emailed them Thursday.

Their sights are very nice and they use Trijicon tubes in their night sights.
