LPA Sight cut
Does anyone know if all adjustable LPA sights use the same dovetail cut? Dovetails and rear sights are the one thing I have never messed with. I have always shot the sighs that came on my pistols. Want to add an Optics plate to my Rock Island 1911. Any info would be helpful.

Re: LPA Sight cut
It is my understanding that LPA is one of the "standard" dovetail cuts, so one LPA sight should fit any of the LPA cuts. I think it is a 60 degree cut with a 3/8" width, a bit wider than the Bomar cut.

You may want to do some research. IIRC the RI adjustable sights have a proprietary angle that's just a bit different from standard Novak.

Re: LPA Sight cut
Not sure if you have the GI or tactical but the question of RI sight cuts is often asked, for example:

Even though the sight says LPA on it.

Why not just send them an inquiry as to the dovetail they sent to Rock Island?

It may take a day or three to get a response, I guess, because they’re in Italy.
