It appears that there have been four types of sights used in Taurus autos.
This FAQ was the product of the group effort of all the moderators of Taurus Armed.
- The PT92/PT100 rear sights are pretty much their own design. Also, newer PT92/PT100 rear sights are now made of Plastic. The 1911 rear sights might fit the PT92/PT100 series, but I doubt they would fit PT900 series, unless you got SuperSight versions that have a backward hang over the rear of the Slide.
- All of the PT900 Rear Sights are the same. PT900 series sights have always been Plastic. A caution on both designs is that the Rear Sights retain the Firing Pin Lock. When driving the rear sights off, from left to right, the last 3/8 inch of travel will release (launch) the Spring and retainer cup into nowwhere to be foundsville if one is not careful.
- On the Millennium series and the 24/7 series, the earlier sights (screw down) can only be replaced with sights designed specifically for them. There are only a small number of upgrades available.
- With the advent of the 24/7 Pro and the Millennium Pro Third Generation, the dovetail allows for greater lattitude. At present the sights designed specifically for these guns is limited but growing.
- However, Almost any gunsmith, and many casual home smither, can fit the 1911 style sights to these guns.
