Hi,
I've been having some failures to fire and extract with my Colt 1911. Of course I need to fix that. But, all the "tap rack bangs" I've been doing in practice and competition have left my hands looking like I was holding the wrong end of the weed whacker because I have a low mount Bomar rear sight.
Great for bullseye, not so "tactical" for IDPA. From Googling around, it looks like there is no other sight that will fit the Bomar dovetail. That sound right?
What if I was to file down (i.e "melt") the hard and sharp corners of the sight? Anyone ever try that? Will I have to do something to protect the metal afterwards?
thanks,
Chuck
