RE: Novak's & Sights
I have no experience with Novak's service, but their reputation is exemplary.
The 'Novak Cut' for the rear sight is also pretty much standard nowadays (or close to it), so it's hard to go wrong there as well.
However, I do not like the standard Novak rear sight because its sight picture is not 'flat'. The notch is inset in the body of the sight instead of being in a single plane, which in my eyes makes makes for a 'busy' sight picture. Certainly more 'complicated' than necessary, but that's just my opinion.
In any case, if the goal is to improve the 'target shootability' of the gun, I would not recommend a Novak rear sight.
For a fixed 'target' sight on a 1911, I would probably get the Classic Heinie rear sight.
In an adjustable, I would probably try to find an old Bomar.
