That's my photo. To be honest, I didn't like the sight arrangement, even though Heinie's are my favorite sights. The amazing thing about that gun was the checkering and the beavertail. I sold it when I consolidated back into 1911'sOriginally Posted by Tokarev
What didn't you like? Partial obscuration of the rear sight blade? Marginally shorter sight radius?
What's this 1911 thing you speak of? Are they still making those things? I think I saw one in the Imperial War Museum in London some years back....

For me, if the rear sight is going to be milled in, I want the rear blade to be at the rear of the slide. the Heinie classic and slant-pro provide a sight picture similar to the Bomar. I like seeing a tall serrated blade.
Here's the heinie, trimmed up by Garthwaite, and installed on my Colt
That mag release solution seems like it’d kinda be less than ideal for carry as a lefty, but I’d sure love to try one out. I don’t think I’ve fired a hi-power but would like to.
I’ve got a couple of these hard-to-find pieces for a future build. They just need to be dehorned and shaped for carry

I don't know how this rear might look on a Hi-Power but it is a nice option for someone who's got a Bomar cut wanting a "hard use" rear sight.

Here's a Ledge install. What I don't like about it (in this case anyway) is that the rear corners of the sight overhang the back corners of the slide.
Here's a legless Heinie Ledge. I like it. The sight looks clean and proportional on the gun.
Anyone remember this hammer?
Here it is in a Browning pistol I had worked over by Karl Sokol.
I just had a C&S ignition set, trigger and "no bite" hammer installed on a FEG.
The hammer bites and the trigger slaps my finger painfully enough that I don't want to shoot it.
Are Hipowers/FEGs known for this?
