Wilson Combat
For those seeking an ideal rear sight that provides unparalleled visibility even in low light environments, dynamic range scenarios and for shooters of advancing age, look no further than the Wilson Combat square notch battlesight!
The Wilson Combat Battlesight, created by Bill Wilson, is the ideal sight for low-light and dynamic range conditions. It has a .130" square notch design to provide you with an optimal view of your target. The concave rear blade is serrated 40 lines per inch for precision accuracy. Additionally, the notch area is recessed into a semi-circular pocket giving you maximum protection and creating a clear picture of what lies ahead. With minimal fitting required when placing on any slide already cut for 65° x .495" dovetail (Wilson 463/Novak Low Mount), this product offers unbeatable convenience as well.
Securely fasten your sight with the massive dual set screws to guarantee a solid, lasting attachment. The exterior shelf profile is crafted for single-handed slide cycling or clearing jams in an instant. For those seeking an ideal rear sight that provides unparalleled visibility even in low light environments, dynamic range scenarios and for shooters of advancing age, look no further than the Wilson Combat Battlesight! With its distinguished height relative to traditional low-mount sights (at .030 inches taller) as well as compatibility across both full size and compact handguns - this sight offers perfection at every turn.

DISCLAIMER: Wilson Combat 1911 small parts may require minor fitting and should only be installed by a qualified gunsmith. Although these parts are intended to be drop-in, due to the range of tolerances between various manufacturers' handguns, some fitting may occasionally be necessary. We highly recommend all fitting/installation of small parts is done by a professional gunsmith.
U-notches and I don't get along, so I was eager to swap out the one that came on my 3.25" SFX9. The original X9 came with a "normal profile" Wilson rear sight, whereas the 3.25" slide has a more contountered rear. Stumbled upon these and gave them a try after a dissatisfying attempt with a different rear and they work great! No noticeable difference in snags/"carry-ability" with the lack of additional profiling vs. the original rear, and I have grown to appreciate the recessed, un-serrated notch. The sloped contour of the sights rear face reduced snagging and improves comfort as well. POA/POI is dead on with the .180" standard EDC X9/SFX9 front (I run the gold bead one - also excellent).
I have an older WC CQB with night sights. The tritium was no longer visible so it was time for an upgrade. I prefer the square notch over the u-notch and matched that with .190 front red fiber optic sight. What a difference! Perfect combination. My CQB is by far my most accurate 1911.
