I just wanted to let you guys know that Hilton Yam has released his new line of 10-8 Performance aftermarket triggers and Novak cut rear sights. Hilton was gracious enough to install one his rear sights on my new SA Professional when it was in his shop for a Code 3 reliability work over. Let me just say that I could not be more pleased. The rear sight is absolutely outstanding. The sight picture is very crisp and precise. I quickly noticed the improvement over the standard Novak’s. Sight in was a breeze and they are dead on at 25 yards.

They are currently available for 1911s with Novak LoMount dovetail cut. The sight will fit into factory 1911s with Novak sights installed. The sight is a direct retrofit in the dovetail and will match the height of the existing rear sight. If your slide is not cut for a Novak dovetail, it will require machining for installation.

Sights are in development for the Kimber 1911, S&W M&P, and Glocks.

Link to the sights on Hilton's gunsmithing website:

The sights are available now from the following companies:

Bravo Company USA ***M4carbine.net Authorized Dealer***

Tango Down ***M4carbine.net Sponsor***

Berryhill Custom Gunsmithing – Dave is offering the sight with custom rear notch configurations and tritium inserts. ***M4carbine.net member***

Noveske Rifleworks – Noveske will be carrying plain black 10-8 sights and the VT/10-8 trigger. ***M4carbine.net Sponsor***

Mars Armament (M4carbine member: Steve Morrison) - is not selling the sights, but he does Trit insert installation. My Pro was suppose to be mailed off to Steve a few weeks ago to get mine installed. I still need to get my slide boxed up.
