My first firing of the PT1911 was all good...except for the Heine straight 8 sights. I know, I know, everyone raves about them and all, but it's got to be a personal thing. At 15 yard I have some really good 1.5 inch shot groups, but their all lower left middle between the 6'oclock and 8'oclock. This would mean that I'm either slapping the trigger or pushing during the firing sequence, but one would think that in 200 rds., I'd get it right at least a couple of times.
I have aging eyes, so when looking down the barrel I did find it hard to get the "figure 8" sight picture, but all the more to probably look at replacing them (sights not eyes).
A thorough google for Taurus PT1911 sights only gave me 1 hit...

Even though I bought this for IDPA and not self defense, I'd still like to have a good set of night sights since the enhanced glow I believe will help with target acquisition. So, it now becomes a debate TruGlo versus Trijicon. It is my understanding that Trijicons work well in low/no-light, but are less visible in daylight. The TruGlo appear to be the better all around day/night sights, of course there are the traditional sights which I'll admit to knowing very little. There is the "old-school" of keeping up with the past and just using what John Moses Browning gave us, but I like to think that if he were alive today he'd still be enhancing his design and it's component parts (please send death threats to...BR549.com.... ;D )
What are your thoughts and do you have any links we can view?
