Adjustable rear sight for PT1911

[38 Super Auto]

Has anyone out there replaced the factory Heinie rear sight on the Taurus PT1911? I am wondering if the slide has a standard Bomar cut or requires custom rear sight.

Thanks,

:)

The Heinie Slant-Pro (or the Original) is another very popular rear sight, designed and manufactured by pistolsmith Richard Heinie of Quincy, IL. ... ...The machining required for mounting is different from any other sight, i.e. once your slide is cut for a Heinie, nothing else will fit it.

Indeed, it's a 3/8" dovetail on a proprietary step-cut. Hold your PT1911 sideways up to the light, and you'll see it.

Any particular reason you want to get rid of the Heinie? Mine's pretty spot-on...

I need a sight adjustable for elevation and I could not find one by Heinie.
