9mm 1911 decision question

[Freddy B]

My SA RO 9MM is my favorite handgun. I did change the front sights to Dawson’s fiber optic,

I've been thinking about replacing the front sight on my SA RO with a Dawson FO. Did it require "fitting"?

I have the Ruger SR1911 in 9mm, Commander length. One of my favorite guns. I will agree the recoil spring is pretty light, but it runs everything I've fed it so far. Definitely worth considering.

Mine did, watch Dawson's UTube video and get out your files.
Not that hard.

I have a S&W Pro Series I like a bunch. Also a Para Ordnance P18 that despite what others say about them, it runs like a sewing machine for me.

I had the Smith and Wesson pro series in 9mm for a while and it was a super fine gun. I upgraded to the performance center 1911 in 45 and sold my 9mm.

Very minimal. I had to reduce it a bit, and clean the edges of my slide. Very easy to do, but still if you don’t trust yourself I’d recommend having someone do it just because it’s such a prominent area of the gun. I have a small burr that I did next to the sight that I caused. Barely noticeable, but I can see it and it pisses me off haha.


Dawson made some YouTube videos that walk you thru it.
