1911 sights Locally?
« on: March 19, 2014, 08:09:00 PM »
Anyone install 1911 sights locally. I want my 1911 Loaded to have the same sights as my Glock, Trigicon HD's.

Can contact the 1911 guru ed misaki, but I think any smith can put them in.  Try dex at xring, wanye at pacific or john at jp custom

I'd love to give him a call, can't find his number :)  Would be cool that to say "Ed Masaki worked on my 1911..."  Anyone know his number or how to get in touch with him?

No kidding!
If the manufacturers would pick a standard dovetail I would be more inclined to try new sights and their sales would increase. I've never understood the reasoning behind this.

Ed's number is 737-1212 or email emasaki@juno.com. The card I have is pretty old, but then so is Ed, hopefully the info is still good. I had him do some work on one of mine, trigger job, sights, he went above and beyond and the gun still works great.
