1911 front sight

[mikelawtown]

I'm looking for a front orange sight for my Range Officer and was curious what you guys are using? I'm looking to keep the stock height. Thanks

Take a look at the Trijicon large surround night site in orange.

I prefer fiber optic red because it is easy on my old eyes. I am not familiar with the Remington pistol and don't know if the front sight is secured in a dovetail. If it isn't, it would be worth your while (and $) to have a gunsmith install your front sight and cut a dovetail in the slide for the mount. This will allow you to change your front sight on your own should you choose to do so.
