Default Replacement sights.

I have a RIA two tone tactical. I love the pistol, but hate the sights - I have a hard time picking up black on black.

I have read that standard 1911 Novak sights will not fit RIAs due to a slightly different depth of cut.

Does anyone know anyone who makes sights that fit? Looking for tritium sights, fixed front, rear adjustable for elevation and windage.

No idea. We used to have an ARMSCOR rep who would know, but he abandoned us some time back

OK, here's what John said, try 1 of 2 things:

1) Check out Fusion Firearms, he says they carry sights for RIA's http://www.fusionfirearms.com/

2) You can email Shawn at RIA for help. [email protected]


Hope this helps.

Another alternative is to to take "white out", white nail polish or even gold nail polish and put a dab on your front sight. That is a cheap, effective sight upgrade that many have done for years.
