anyone using this sight on a 1911 style commander size pistol?

Good morning,Thank you for the email. Yes these have been mounted on 1911's before, but you need to buy the right mount as well. I would recommend getting a hold of Burris to get the appropriate base. You can give them your exact model of pistol and they will be able to tell you the right base for you to mount the sight correctly. You can reach them at (970) 356-1670. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.Thanks and God bless

No. Using on AR.I am sure it would work fine.I personally would not use on a pistol.

I dont have an R1, but I had to pound the sight in with a hammer and punch. And I had to sand a little material off with file to get it to fit on my 1911 clone, and the sight mounts are novak cuts. Look on youtube for a video from Dave Dawson : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=do8sHBDfIGk . The sight is great, it just takes a little work.

I do have one on a round sight of your caliber and it thus far seems to be working okay in practice. Will be using it hopefully as I go elk hunting next week. It seems fairly reliable on my targets.

So far as I can tell there isn't a exact match unless yours uses a full size frame an a short slide. Baring that these are about as close as u can get from what I see for the officer style. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/152213/hogue-fancy-hardwood-grips-with-finger-grooves-1911-officer-tulipwood

I used this one. So far it's worked great on all my Glocks and M&P;'s.http://www.sightpusher.comYou'll also need a front sight tool. Amazon has them.

I just reinstalled the original pin and have had absolutely no problems with this sight- in fact I like them so much I just installed a set on my Glock 29.

I have the same type pistol. I was never able to find those sights. I would suggest you contact sig for an update on that one

I'm not sure how high the sights on the 45colt are, but the highpro rings set pretty high, if your colt is fitted with any weaver style rail system then it should be work for you,.

I have a Colt Commander and that trigger fit in the gun but the width wasn't wide enough it left a gap in the back of the trigger. So I put the stock trigger back on.

I mounted that exact set-up and had good results. It depends a bit on the iron sights, but if you're using the stock sights then it should be no problem.

John, I don't know. I ordered these in anticipation that they would fit an older colt lightweight commander and another set to fit a colt officers model. They did not fit either. I can't seem to find a gunsmith down here in Florida who is really a gunsmith and can cut into my slide a beavertail in the front of the slide to hold these sights. It looks like I have to send the piston away to have that done. The sights looked great but won't fit my guns. Sorry

Have it on my Henry H001. Obstructs the iron sights though. I would also suggest a hammer extension.

That depends on the cut on the Sig. Sig's website or a rep should be able to tell you what kind of cut the front sight on your model 1911 has. This sight is for a Novak cut. You also need to worry about sight height... unless you've got an adjustable rear sight.

email fastfire support and ask them if their mounting bolt pattern is the same as either "DOCTER or TRIJICON" sights. if so it should work. if not then you will have to use a DOCTER or TRIJICON sight. I believe fastfire can answer your questions. you should know that red dots on a pistol require practice as the eye relief requires practice and both eyes wide open to sight. read your owners manual religiously.

I have a CORE and a longslide, i have NOT found a trijicon sight that would fit, the grove is larger. Its my understanding they take a different sight

So far every 1911 uses this thread pitch. It should fit just right. I haven't seen a grip screw that didn't fit.

The rear sight is a dovetail sized for old style government model 1911 as the front is a staked pin requiring a steaming tool to install. If your pistol is equipped with these old style sights they will fit but in my experience I would not try to install the front sight without a proper tool and you should expect to have to do some fitting of the rear sight as well.
