REAR SIGHT, 1911, VICKERS ELITE, SERRATED BLADE, TRITIUM

The Vickers 1911 rear Battlesight is designed with a serrated 40 lines-per-inch concave rear blade, while the notch area has been placed inside a semi-circular pocket for an ultra-crisp sight picture. In addition to being .030” taller than most low mounts sights, this unique design works just as well on full and compact-sized handguns alike. Larry Vickers' dedication to designing and producing top-of-the-line products stems from his experience with firearms both in combat operations as part of US Army 1st SFOD Delta, and within industry circles as a marksmanship instructor & consultant. 

• Black parkerized, hardened carbon steel for a lifetime of use
• Serrated 40 LPI for a non-glare surface in the brightest outdoor range conditions
• Dual set screws for a final rock solid attachment
• Ideal sight picture for poorly lit shooting conditions, dynamic shooting situations or for those with aging eyesight
• .140" wide and deeper U-notch for improved precision without a loss in speed under dynamic shooting conditions
• Pyramid shaped rear occludes less of the target while shooting
• External shelf enables easy one-hand cycling or malfunction clearance
• All edges radiused for smooth, comfortable gun-handling
• Minor fitting required when used on any slide already cut for a 65° x.495" dovetail (Wilson 463/Novak Low Mount)
• The Vickers Battlesight's .030" taller than standard height will typically require a .190” tall front sight on a 5" 1911, .170" height front sight on a compact or commander

"The Wilson Combat Vickers Elite duty rear sight is inspired by a fixed sight design I used on my issued 1911 Government Model pistol while in Delta Force. Then, as now, it serves as a great heavy duty rear sight on a 1911 and with the additional features incorporated by Wilson’s from their Battlesight it takes the whole concept to another level. I’m proud to be part of this project."

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.
