The 1911 rear sight is one of two iron sights that are typically found on the M1911 pistol. Found on the rear of the slide, the rear sight is an alignment marker that is lined up with a front sight for the purposes of accurately aiming the pistol. This particular rear sight is a fixed sight. It is not adjustable for windage or elevation. This newly manufactured part was manufactured to mil-spec 1911 specifications and features a black oxide finish. Note that a wide variety of the 1911 hammers exist. Ours is designed specifically for mil-spec pistols.
