Boss Kongoni1911 sight???
After a year of checking the used gun cases in a 1/2 dozen gunshops, I found a like new Kimber HD pro-cary II. I couldn't write the $550 check fast enough.

My shooting got better instantly and no "X" is safe. Paper targets tremble at the mention of my name!
It has the standard black sights, which my near 50 eyes are having trouble with in low light. What do you guys recomend? I was thinking maybe leave the factory rear sight and put a night sight dot on the front.

KLN357My near 50 eyes know where you're coming from! I like a tritium on the front only myself!
www.cdnninvestments.com just put the Kimber tritium sight set on sale for $59.99. They're the green glow white outline so they should be pretty bold in daylight. The inserts are Trijicon. There are also several adjustable sight options for the Kimber. Kimber is the distributor for Meprolight and last time I checked they had adjustable tritiums.

butchlocsometimes i wish i had young eyes like yours, but what did was to go to brownells and but fiber optic front sights. I find the green shows best for my eyes, but it works well for me and they're only something like 10 for the front sight.
I have done two different things on two different pistols to assist in my weakening eyesight. On my 1911 with standard lo-mount Novak sights, I opened up the width of the rear sight. On my CZ 75 I installed some tritium Big Dot sights from XS. The latter are express type sights. In low light I am better with the XS sights but on a bright sunny day I shoot just as well with the widened Novaks.
