Frequently asked questions

Can I change the sights on my Colt at home?

Yes, with a sight pusher or a punch. Drift the old sight out of the dovetail and push the new one in. If you do not have the tool, a gunsmith can do it for you. See Installation tools.

Which sights should I choose for my Colt?

It depends on how you shoot:

• You want to zero for your ammunition or shoot competition: adjustable sights. You set windage and elevation with screws.
• You shoot in daylight, at the range or in competition: fiber optic.
