Is that a Mil-Spec? Gotta love a Mil-Spec.

And the "new shoes" add some class and elegance. Did you make them yourself?

Looks pretty sharp.
Did you paint the front sight? If so, what did you use. I have a problem seeing the small white dot on my mil-spec.

Good looking grips. I think every 1911 owner has a bag of grips. I know I got at least 15 pair & gittin ready to order these from Outlaw Ordnance. Lol

I'm glad you asked that. I'd like to hear his answer.

I've been painting front sights for more than 30 years, and have some ideas on the topic, but would like to hear OP's answer before hijacking his thread. Maybe I'll start my own thread on the subject, if I have time.

Yes I did paint them with orange paint it’s better but as you know mil spec dots are kinda small . I am going to try to paint the back sights back to white and leave the front orange I did that with my bersa and it seems to pick up faster the contrast is better I will let you know once I get some white paint . I use the hobby lobby test paint in the model cars and planes section

I have used metallic orange fingernail polish on front sights. If there is not already a white background, I put on a white base coat.
