Sights For Officer's Model

The Shootist · 05-15-2003, 01:31 PM

I just bought an enhanced Mark IV 80 series Officer's ACP model.

It looks to be a great little "carry" gun... but the sights aren't so hot.

I would like to know if anyone knows of a good three dot or three dot adjustable sight that will fit this gun wihout milling the slide.

Thanks in advance for your input....

Why adjustables on an Officers' Model, if you don't mind
my asking? Are you dead set on them? If not, maybe
look at the CMC 'fake' 'Novak' sight, or many others.
I don't know of an adjustable that doesn't require a
dovetail other than the really early aftermarket sights
that would counter the desire for a 'little' gun.

I had Trijicon fixed sights put on mine. They mount just like the factory sights.

M. Hall,

My primary goal is to get find improved sights for the Officers model...and in my view if they could be adjustable--- so much the better.

I shoot quite a bit.... (general practice and IDPA) so when the opportunity to buy a case or two of factory ammo or reloads (from a well known source) comes my way at the right price.... I stock up.

The adjustable sights have proven to be much easier to shift the point of aim when changing ammo often. I have adjustable sights on several guns that I shoot a great deal but those suppliers (MMC & Novacks) only have sights for the Officers that require a milling of the slide.

O.K. Shootist....That's a reasonable answer, and economically
understandable. The only thing I would say is that the
O.M. is really a concealment gun, one that will get banged
around a little, and fixed sights are way more durable than
adjustables. I personally would compensate for my POI
while practicing and set my sights for my carry ammo of
choice. Just my .02.
