popplecop,

I have a few M1911 and M1911A1 pistols as well as a few clones. My favorites are an OLD Goldcup (pre-1970) and an S&W M645 stainless with adjustable sights, and a M1911 AMT stainless frame with blued slide and other GI parts AND an Ellison adjustable rear sight.

The original M1911 was a fine gun and adjustable sights would have made it much better in my opinion. I have moved my rear sights to accomodate my 200 grain cast SWC bullets in my fixed-sight guns. In the Goldcup, 645and AMT, it was a mere few clicks on the rear sight. Fixed sights are not worth much in my view when adjustable sights are so easily available on semi-autos and revolvers. A gun needs to shoot where "it looks." Fixed sights rarely accomodate ALL loads, and in some cases, NONE!

Adam
