Interestingly, I find that I like having the small dot on the Heinie rear sight.

I did install it myself, using the included aluminum punch, and a file. My Valor has a pretty tight taper, and I had to do quite a bit of filing, trying, and filing again.

Nice well thanks for posting and responding. I have been thinking of getting into some IDPA if I can find when and where they have them in the Kansas City area.
I might try an FO front sight on my Heritage and see how I like it.

Yea I would probably do the installation myself the same way you did - file and tap...etc I know sight pusher tools are real popular with sig's and Glocks...etc but truthfully I am not sure if anyone really uses them on there 1911's.

Anyways thanks for the post.
