Wilson sights

The Commander I bought a few months back has Wilson sights mounted. I always thought a dovetailed front sight wouldn't "look right" on a 1911, but I barely notice it now. The dots had faded until they were barely visible (one reason I got a deal on the gun) so I put a drop of white Testors appliance epoxy paint in the rear holes using a toothpick tip, painted the rear face of the front sight white and put a drop of orange in the hole. They don't glow in the dark any more, but they sure do shoot good in anything less than total dark.

Just got a call from my buddy who lives down the road. He killed a nice nine-point off of his front porch just before dark. That makes seven nice bucks he has killed from either his front porch or bathroom window in the last few years. And he's gonna SELL his place and move to town! I told him he was nuts, but he too is getting up in years and that place is more than he can handle by himself.

We don't spend too much on fancy deer stands around these parts.....
