Sights for Colt Competition

Looking for sights that fit the Colt Competition? Everything below is machined for its exact cut - Colt Competition is a 1911-pattern Colt, sharing fitment with other Colts machined to the same cut. The Competition series is Colt's factory-tuned range gun, aimed at USPSA and bullseye shooters who want a tighter out-of-the-box fit.

A factory sight is built to a price, not for a stage clock - a high-contrast fiber optic front post is faster to pick up during a draw or a target transition, and a fully adjustable rear lets you dial a true zero for your own load rather than the factory average.

Stocked as matched front-and-rear sets, individual rear sights, adjustable rear sights (windage). Illumination options include fiber optic, tritium, luminescent dots, white dots.

Fiber optic front sights gather ambient light along a thin rod and glow at the tip - fast to find in daylight, which is why most competition shooters run one on the front post. Tritium sights use a sealed, self-illuminating gas vial instead, holding a visible sight picture in the dark with no battery to charge.

A fiber optic front post is the faster pick for range and stage use, where a bright, high-contrast dot speeds up target transitions. Tritium is the better call if the same gun also pulls carry or duty duty and needs to work in the dark - neither is objectively better, it comes down to whether daylight speed or night visibility matters more for how the gun is actually used.

Sourced from LPA (Italy) and Angry Bear (USA).
