Default SA Loaded sights

I want Tritium Fiber Optic Sights for my Loaded red front and yellow rear. True Glow makes them for many guns....but there Tek Support told me they dont have an option for the SA 1911.

Can someone point me in another direction....


Thank You

Have you looked at Novak Sights?

They make stuff for guns you would not expect. They make fiber optic and tritium sights.
I even found them for my CZ52 which was a really great for me. They have what you want.

Check them out.

Thought about putting night sites on my 1911 but can't bear the idea of having to machine the slide. Is it possible someone has some Tritium paint?

tritium is radioactive, so doubt how much you could get being a private

citizen, I would imagine if you were a manufacturer of such products

you could possibly obtain some, but with all sorts of hoops and fires to jump

through and over

fwiw, I tried the phophorescence (sp) paint, it was advertised as being as

bright as tritium (save money yea) NOT

I still have that weapon, and in the darkest of dark, it is barely able to be

seen
