1911 Sights

Post by DrowningInk »

I own a Kimber Stainless TEN II 1911 with the stock sights... which are great for carry since they really won't hang on anything. But I'm looking to get new ones I found some Ghost ring sights for it which I really like the idea of but im wondering if anyone else has put this type of sight on a pistol and whether or not you liked them. Personally i loved them on my brothers M1a and was very accurate with them. Just asking for opinions.
Thanks

Ghost rings on pistols are not very common, they haven't really caught on. The theory behind the naysayer position is that unlike on a rifle or shotgun, the sights of a pistol are too far from the eye to make a ghost ring useful.

You can certainly give them a try and see if they suit you. Everyone is different.

Yeah that does make a lot of since I didn't think about the difference in how far away from my eye it will be and at $190 I'm not sure if I will be trying them out just yet. But if I do I will post my opinion since there arn't alot of reviews about it.
