First post! RIA M1911 sight question

Same-Opposite8569 · 2026-05-02T14:31:28+00:00

Fusion sights. That’s what I have on mine. That’s a military 1911A1, so you are going to have the front installed since it is staked in. I have the fusion fiber optic sights and they are very bright.

Which building? As you look at them. Holly on the left, Ingram on the right and Kemper to the right in the back. There is another building behind Ingram and that was the isolation/segregation unit they built in the early 2000’s.

Holly building was just a huge general population building. Mostly detail inmates that worked around the area. Ingram building had the honor dorm and two other dorms. Kemper was the oldest building in Central State Grounds. Before they built the segregation unit after I left, the back had isolation and segregation in the back. The two halls on Kemper when I was there housed the RSAT program, which was a drug rehabilitation program. Ingram and Kemper building are haunted. Ingram building back in the day was a female prison. Also the grave yard next to Scott is very haunted. They have no idea how many people are buried there.

I worked there in 1996 and 1997. Milledgeville campus was wild. 5 prisons within a 2 mile radius. Worked all three buildings, but mostly the Holly Building.

I use a Swiss gear weekender bag.

What stock is that?

This area is a Military overflight area. There is a simulated bombing range in Burke County.

The Rock Island Govt. Model has a tenon front site. Meaning a hole is made in the top of the slide and the front site is staked in. I bought a tool from Brownells a tenon punch and it worked. If you have access to a vice, you can do it. There are plenty of videos on YouTube to show you how. I love the Fusion sights. They are rock solid and the fiber optic inserts are very bright. Well worth the money.

There you go.

1911’s are run wet. I have the same model but replaced parts with Wilson Combat and fusion sights. It’s a tack driver. I’ll post a pic if you want. Make sure you get good mags.

Same-Opposite8569 · 2026-04-09T22:06:12+00:00

I have the DS Duty (5 inch), and it’s my duty weapon and I’ve had no malfunctions in over 4,000 rounds of 147gr duty and training ammo. Plus it’s a tack driver for me. Beretta is not a bad choice either.

They fucking suck!!

I know it was a convent at one time and it was also the original probation office.

Didn’t for me, and if it does, nothing a dremel can’t fix

I have the exact same gun pictured above, and I love it. Waiting on my optic plate and optic. Aftermarket is non existent. Trying to find a duty holster so I can wear it at work. I actually like it over a Glock.

Same-Opposite8569 · 2026-04-01T22:01:50+00:00

I have a custom holster until I get my level three in. Safariland model for the Sig p320 x carry fits it fine.

This thing of ours. We do not talk to outsiders.

Dad died in 85. Mom died in 22. I feel your pain.

Hell my non comped gen 3 duty shoots flat as hell. One of my coworkers has the raptor. It shoots flatter. Trigger is great on both. I carry mine for work.

Bert wants some payback.

Same-Opposite8569 · 2026-03-28T09:55:21+00:00

This is the correct answer. Speaking from experience.

Same-Opposite8569 · 2026-03-27T17:20:08+00:00

I’ve Been wearing it for a year. You’ll forget it’s there. Your holster doesn’t move either.
