    Most of my 1911s have plain black sights but I have one with Heinie Ledge Straight ates yellow rear and green front. I like 'em a lot.

    The Heinie sights are great. I like the straight 8 tritium sights though the front sight does not have the white outline I prefer. These days I just buy the plain sights and have them sent to Tool Tech to have the tritium placed. It's a big extra step but the sights are exactly the way I want them.

    I recently had the Heinie Ledge in the rear installed along with Novak's up front. I like the flat black sights that came on my 1911 and wanted to keep it similar during the day. Stacked sights at night worked fine for me.

    Get a green front and yellow rear. Green is the natural color of tritium, and is therefore the brightest color. Yellow will be dimmer, giving you a bright front sight and dimmer (but still quite bright) rear sight. A brighter front sight and dimmer rear sight keeps the rear from overpowering the front.
    Pretty much +1 from me. I have this Trijicon setup on my Glock 19 and really like it.
