The problem is...
The front sight on my Colt is drilled slightly to the left. It's still on the little flat they cut under the sight but it's to the extreme left of it, rather than properly centered, and thus the rear sight has to be a bit left of center in the dovetail and I'm sorta picky about stuff like that. Trying to decide if I just want to dovetail the slide and put Novak or some other sights on it or do I want to just send the whole gun to someone for sights, beavertail grip frame and combat type hammer. The grip safety is still a bit rough on my hand but a bit more rounding and smoothing would probably solve it.
