Impressed with the sight
Had a gun smith remove my damaged original rear sight on my M199A1 & replaced with the 10-8 NM Rear sight. I actually prefer the new sight to the original one. Very impressed with 10-8's service!

Much Improved Sight Picture
Put this on my RIA CS, replacing the GI sight. Had to do a little filing to get it to fit, but looks great. Have a FO on the front,the sight picture for my aging eyes is now much better and aquisition is much faster. Very happy with the product

Great sight
Installed on an Auto Ordnance 1911A1 with a Trijcon front sight. Fast to get on target and improved accuracy.
-
Great upgrade for rear sight.
I installed this rear on a Para Expert. It works out perfectly with the FO front that came on that gun.

'Older eyes' but still carry daily
The sights are great for range use on a 5" Colt Availability of an occasional run of wider notch might suit folks whose vision needs all the help it can get.

10-8 NM rear sight
Impressed with the quality of manufacture, and the small amount of fitting required. Target aquisition is much faster, and my shooting greatly improved. I wish someone would make a gold bead front for use with older Colt's with the small tenon, won't mill my slide. How about it 10-8?

NM style 1911 rear sight
Service and delivery worked out fine. Visual and tactile review of part was very satisfactory. Please receive my very satisfied report with the qualification that this rear sight has not yet been installed and used. I did "jerry rig" it with tape to check the sight picture and remained enthusiastic and satisfied.

Awesome
Very nice sight. Serrated with the wide notch is great. I use wide .140 notches on my Fn's, Glocks, and now 1911's. My only complaint is 10-8 does not offer a stake on .090 width plain black serrated front sight to match. It would save on shipping. I will be ordering another soon for one of my other 1911's.

A MUST

Excellent product
The 1911 NM Rear Sight is excellent quality. It is much sturdier than the factory sight and has a wider aperture, making it easier to find the front sight. It took a minor amount of fitting with a file to get it onto the slide, but installation was reasonably simple. I tested it immediately after installation and it simplifies the sight alignment/sight picture problem significantly over the factory sights.
