My Favorite Rear Sight
Had this installed on my WC CQB along with a WC fiber optic front. Like them so much I’m changing all my 1911’s to this combo. I have a similar rear sight on another gun, but this WC Battlesight is so much better, it is be8ng replaced.

Finest Rear Sight Made
I have a Colt 70 Series Govt 45 ACP that is highly customized. I did the research on every sight made by all the finest 1911 gunsmiths and their products. This rear Battle site, in my oppion, the very best made for my application. Buy one, youll agree.

Perfect
I installed this on my SA MC Operator. Originally came with Novak rear and front tritium sights. All I can say is WOW. What a difference the battlesight is. Having the rear blacked out really lets you focus on just the front sight. Very quick sight picture. I paired this with a Dawson fiber front only cause the wilson front wont fit my pistol. I would imagine the results would be just as good as with a Wilson front fiber sight as everything I have purchased from Wilson has been above expectation.

Wilsons Best Rear Sight Ever!
This is the best fixed rear sight that Wilson has ever created, and they are the standard by which all others must be judged. Its solid as a Patton Tank and provides a lightning-fast and highly effective sight picture. The machining and finish are typical Wilson: magnificent. Rear sights do not get any better than this.

Battle Sight Rocks!!!
I have been using the battle sight with a fiber optic front for a year now. Sight acquisition is extremely fast. My 48 year old eyes now struggle with other sights, but the battle sight is very easy to see. For the long shots centering is easy and just as accurate as the old target sights.
