SR1911 Target Rear Sight Options?
I have the SR1911 Target version (9mm, bull barrel, CheatMode enabled... ) and am looking for a rear sight with FO dots. When I bought the thing I ASSumed that anything that looked like a Bomar was a Bomar, but after buying a Warren sight, it turns out to not be a Bomar pattern. As it also turns out, there is a Kimber pattern and a LPA pattern, and probably some I don't know, since it turns out I do not know as much as I thought I did.
I like the looks of this Dawson:

and they have it in a couple different configurations.
Does anybody just know if the Ruger is mimicking another, more common, pattern?
I have searched a bit, and my GoogleFu is reasonably strong, but it seems like people here just know stuff, and when I spend much time looking at other gun forums I always end up sad and angry.

I think I may have figured it out...
I think there is an "LPA" pattern that sure looks like Bomar but isn't. There was some helpful info on Kensight:

And the Dawson I like is an option:

Will probably phone Dawson in a little bit (when they get opened up) and ask and probably buy.
Update - Looks like Kimber Cut...
Just got the sight that replaced the sight that replaced the sight I bought to replace the sight, and... looks good!
Not installed yet, I will post pictures when it is.
Just to recap, the SR1911 has what looks like a "Bomar" sight but is not. There is such a thing as an "LPA" cut that looks like a Bomar, but it is not that either. Turns out there is a format that Kimber probably came up with so they didn't have to pay anybody to use their sight and Ruger mimicked that, probably so they don't have to pay anybody to use their sight.
Stay Tuned...
