BEC 1911 Rear sights

[Business End Customs]

I have been doodling 1911 rear sights for a long while with how I would like a rear sight setup. I have modified 10-8s and Novak's but I was never 100% satisfied and for me to make them in house it wasn't cost effective .I finally got a chance to sit down with a local shop who specializes in Aerospace & medical CNC machining. I gave them my drawings with a sight that I machined up.
Being only a few hundred yards from my shop & the owner being a gun advocate he was willing to take the rather small project on and make these a reality . Also didn't hurt that my wife worked there . So After some refining and tweaks I finally got one in my hands.
These were designed for guns that will see heavy use and abuse

Specs:
4140 bar stock
for 495 x 65 deg Novak dovetail
.325 height
.140 U-notch
slight concave vertical front ledge
Tapered side walls
shadow box
Maganese parkerizing with Cerakote (probably)

Novak..... BEC......10-8

Looks good! Been wanting a new set of sights for my 1911.

What's the time line look for you stocking them?

I just had one of theses installed on my ruger by lou.I shot it last night for the first time and love the site picture with it!
comes up on target fast and clear.this is a carry gun for me,so function is important as well.One handed slide rack works great!
very pleased with it so far!
