I found this selection on their site. I cannot find tritium, I like their fiber optic sights though

Dawson Precision is a very good co. someone always answers when you call, they are knowledgeable and accomadating.
I too have suffered the dreaded Taurus PT1911 rear sight set screw failure. I was shooting full power 230 grain ammo and I couldn't keep the rear sight from dancing around. Like the others here when I tried to tighten it, I boogered up the set screw. (Evidently the guys who design these things don't bother to shoot them.) I managed to get the screw to back off enough to clear the pocket in the dovetail that the screw sits in. I don't want to mess with the set screw concept anymore. I would like to find a shim that would fit between the slide and sight. If I need to adjust it, I'll drift it over with a punch and hammer. Once adjusted I hope the damn thing nevers moves again. Any idea what thickness shim I'll need and where I can locate it? Thanks.

Sampson, did you ever solve your rear sight issue?

Several years ago I took a couple sets of allen wrenches both metric and sae and cut them off to so I had a straight section about 1.5 inches long and put all of them in a small box and use them to find a tight fitting one to drive in a stripped allen screw and it usually works to get most stripped allen/set screws out. Some have to be drilled out.
