    Default Kimber 1911 Rear sight issue

    ordered Novak night sights off the net and got them tonight. Problem is they are the wrong ones. I thought I got the description down correctly but lookin at the photo's you will be able to tell they are not the right ones.

    I went online and tried to look up the right ones but can't seem to find any that are different for this pistol (Kimber Series 1 stainless). I even went to novak's main sight and I can't tell if these are the right ones by the description or just the same ones that I ordered before.

    Any thoughts or point me in the right direction?

    You are trying to mount a fixed rear sight in a dovetail cutout for an adjustable rear sight. Doubt it's going to work. You are going to need to use an adjustable set of night sights for it.

    Here is a link to kimber's site for their adjustable night sights:
    Kimber America Store > KIMBER adjustable night sight set, bar/dot, Meprolight Tritium

    They are still the wrong sights.. You have to stick with the target sights on that slide.
