    I fitted an adjustable sight on my Witness a few years ago. Can move the point of impact wherever I want with a turn of a screw. This is a micro adjustable sight that fits straight in the witness machined dovetail.

    Good grief that's an ugly pistol.

    Is it made from a Caramac chocolate bar?

    Eugh.

    HI baz, have you got any more pictures and a link to where you got the sight from mate? I think it looks OK and sounds like it foes the job nicely. I'm interested in one myself

    Hi Marc, the one in the pic came off of one of my .45 ACP pistols I carried in South Africa. You can buy then from the USA from companies like Midway or LPA. They are also on the bay, but they are not cheap. Perhaps the airsoft guys stock some types here in UK.

    Regards Baz

    HI baz thank you mate..
    Those sights cost more then the pistol I think so I won't get one unfortunately, as they look amazing and would do a great job.. But thank you for the info..

    HI guys just a little update then. Took the 1911 to gin club Tuesday and put a few more rounds through it, once I finished shooting I looked down the muzzle and noticed a bit of alloy tape sticking out, so that means the alloy tape has started to weardown, so only lasted just over 250 shots which I think is not good enough..

    I will take the gun apart tonight to see how much the tape has worn-out and take some pictures, I will then try to perfect the mod more, personally I think the mod needs to last at least 500 rounds for it to be worth doing..

    I'll update more later then..
