Sevenshot 98 Posted September 23, 2017 I've convinced myself that I'm going to finally buy a 1911. Still in the very early stages and know little outside of searching here (btw this is awesome if you haven't seen it https://www.1911addicts.com/threads/buyers-guide-for-all-you-1911-addicts.511/). This will primarily be a range gun. Leaning 9mm just because ammo is so cheap. I'm also becoming increasingly interested in mounting a red dot on a handgun. I know a gunsmith can make this happen but it makes me cringe to think of drilling into a beautiful, new STI Trojan or SA range officer. Is there a recommended 1911 that is ready for a red dot out of the box that is comparable to those I mentioned above? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
louu 399 Posted September 23, 2017 If you get a range officer I think all you need is something like this https://ads.midwayusa.com/product/596673/egw-vortex-razor-red-dot-mount-matte?cm_mmc=pf_ci_google-_-Optics - Scope Rings%2C Bases%2C Mounting %26 Accessories-_-EGW-_-596673&gclid=CjwKCAjwjJjOBRBVEiwAfvnvBEwUCC6gK6HLaLHJIbN3I-bylKAd4E82abqXFnnhblCwuZYQZWz9ARoCNrgQAvD_BwE The range officer has an LPA rear sight cut. I don't know about any of the other guns sight cuts you asked about but Google is your friend. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
louu 399 Posted September 23, 2017 Are you going to be using this gun for competition? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sevenshot 98 Posted September 23, 2017 I would certainly like to down the line just for fun, but am going to need to first find the time to start spending much more time at the range. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
