Well when I got home the fellow was done working on my Colt Stainless Combat Commander, he did an excellent job, fitted ambi safety and a new slide stopworked over the trigger, tightend the slide up just a skosh and beadsblasted it. I am wanting a set of night sights and am thinking about these adjustables. MMC is what I origanally was going to try, but understand they are have some sort of meltdown right now. These are Meprolites. What do you think? Should I just stick with fixed sights?

Re: 1911 sights
I've used both and both are good. Had some MMCs on a Glock and a lot of the officers had Meprolites on their Glocks. I hadn't heard of anything regarding MMC but it's been years since I even thought of them. The ones on the Glock did go bad and I called them to let them know. They sent out a replacement set immediately. Was very pleased with their service. Probably 6-7 years ago though so no telling what the story is now. Big thing is the warranty and the ability of the company to back it up...

Re: 1911 sights
I've never heard of MMC, but I have used Meprolights and Trijicons on my Glocks and Sig. I have been toying with adding night sights to my Para Carry, but I can decide what to get either.

MMC used to be a small company that was based in Las Vegas (if I remember right). They were the only company at the time that made a windage and elevation adjustable rear 'night' sight for a Glock. Most company's sites didn't have both adjustments at that time. Very nicely made and you could actually sight in a Glock! I've never been content with a gun that 'shoots in that direction'.... bullshevick! I had tricked out the Glock to the point that it was actually a decent pistol. Still got bored with it and sold it....
After cutting your teeth on the Walther P88s the Glock feels like something from the 5 and Dime!

Re: 1911 sights
I have owned several Glocks and still have two, but you are 100% correct about them feeling cheap. On the other hand, I have an old first generation G17, and it was my first Glock to rebuild. I do like the fact that you don't have to be a Glock Armorer to work on one, but other than the rebuild, which wasn't really "needed", I have never had to do anything but load magazines for mine.

Re: 1911 sights
I much prefer adjustable sights in a 1911, especially if it has been accurized.
Bomar sights, melted are my favorites.
High visibility fixed sights are ok on a defense gun once you get them sighted in for you carry load.
Night sights are a good idea as well.
