Quick P35 Sight Question

[okie john]

Got a line on a lightly customized P35 with Novak sights. I know they're a classic choice but they're not my favorites. I believe that the slide was cut to take them. What are my options for replacements?

Thanks,

John Harrison Design has replacement sights for Novak-cut 1911s that might work.

I think hienie sights will work. I think there's other 1911 sights that use Novak cut but they might look odd on the thinner hi power slide.

Just to be clear, does the P35 in question have 1911 sized Novak sights or BHP Novak sights? I'm not 100% sure, but I think they all use different dovetails. Even Novak has had different sight variations and sizes for the BHP. I believe there are four different types of Novak sights you can put on a BHP (MK II, two different MKIII variations, and 1911 size).

Here's my BHP with 1911 Novak sights by Don Williams at Action Works. I actually think they look quite nice. One advantage of using the 1911 size sights is that they come in many more varieties than the BHP options.

I went looking for a picture that showed the different sight variations (the current Novak website seems a shadow of its former content)...this shows a few varieties...all Novaks on a BHP but different sizes...
