Kensight ProGlo - Tritium Ramped Front Night Sight w/ Lumi Green Outline, 0.220" Tall, contoured Base, Fits 0.330"x 65°x .075" Dovetail

Kensight is proud to offer the new ProGlo style Ramped Front Night Sight. These highly visible front sights incorporate a self-illuminating Green Tritium Dot nestled within a bright Lumi Green outline. The perfect combination that glows brightly in both low light and well-lit conditions. This is accomplished with the optimal color contrast between the front sight in ProGlo Lumi Green color, and rear tritium sight with Arctic White outlines, or your basic black target rear sight. Based on studies and reviews, the extreme contrast helps quickly draw the shooter's eye to the front post, which allows quicker sight alignment and target acquisition. This Front Night Sight comes equipped with a 0.118" wide blade and a Flat base that keeps your flat-top slide and the sight's dovetail uniform, resulting in a clean looking installation that requires little (if any) filing to accomplish. Compatible with standard Novak type front sight dovetail cuts (0.330" x 65° x 0.075") as typically found on both custom and factory 1911 pistols. GUNSMITH INSTALLATION RECOMMENDED TECHNICAL INFORMATION: Material: 4140 Chrome Moly Steel Blade Type: Smooth Green Tritium Dot (0.076" Dia) Outline Style/Color: ProGlo Lumi Green Blade Width: 0.118" Sight Base: Flat Base Sight Dovetail: Novak Type Dovetail Dimensions: 0.330" (Width) x 65° (Angle) x 0.075" (Depth) Standard Dovetail - Flat Base vs contoured Base A front sight with dovetail dimensions of 0.330" (Width) x 65° (Angle) x 0.075" (Depth) has become known as a standardfront sight in the industry. While these were first seen on 1911 slides with the Novak LoMount rear sight, other OEM manufactures have adopted this same size for their 1911 platform. Some 1911 platforms such as Springfield, have a propitiatory dovetail. There are two basic configurations of the standardfront sight base. One is the Flat Basestyle and the other is the contoured Base. The dovetail dimensions are both the same, so the base selection is a personal preference depending on the profile on the top of your 1911 slide. We recommend that you check your existing front sight dovetail dimensions, before purchasing the standard front sight. Front Sight Height Guide Authentic Kensight Sights - The Professional's Choice This is an authentic Kensight sight, and not to be confused with other brands. When it comes to durability, and features the Kensight sights far exceed our competitors. Our sights are Wire-EDM machined from a single billet of 4140 chrome-moly steel. The result is a precision sight built with better materials and the Wire-EDM construction ensures the tightest tolerances possible. This translates to ultra-smooth adjustments, audible clicks for both windage and elevation, and consistent dovetail dimensions in which the "industry standard" CNC construction cannot compete.
