Kensight - Springfield ProGlo - Tritium Front Night Sight w/Lumi ORANGE Outline, Beveled Flat Base, 0.180" Tall, Fits 0.340"x 60°x .075" Dovetail

Springfield Armory ProGlo style Ramped Front Night Sight. These highly visible front sights incorporate a self-illuminating Green Tritium Dot nestled within a bright Lumi Orange 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 Orange color, and a rear tritium sight with Arctic White outlines, or your basic black serrated 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 beveled flat base that keeps the sight's dovetail uniform, resulting in a clean looking installation that requires little (if any) filing to accomplish. Compatible with the Springfield type front sight dovetail cut (0.340" x 60 Degree x 0.075") Used on Springfield (1911's, EMPs and some Range Officers), some model Colts and Dan Wessons that were made prior to January 2015 (the first two digits in the serial number are the year of manufacture). PLEASE MEASURE YOUR FRONT DOVETAIL BEFORE ORDERING. Please note: This front does not come standard in any sight set we offer. GUNSMITH INSTALLATION RECOMMENDED TECHNICAL INFORMATION: Material: 4140 Chrome Moly Steel Blade Type: Smooth Green Tritium Dot (0.076" Dia) Outline Style/Color: ProGlo Lumi Orange Blade Width: 0.118" Front Sight Base: Beveled Flat Base Sight Dovetail: Springfield Type Dovetail Dimensions: 0.340" (Width) x 60° (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, some OEM manufactures have adopted this same size for their 1911 platform. However, other 1911 platforms such as Springfield, Colts, and Dan Wesson have a propitiatory dovetail. We offer two basic configurations of front sight bases. 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. Please check your existing front sight dovetail dimensions, before purchasing the Springfield front dovetail sight.
