Enhance Precision, Speed, and Target Acquisition
Upgrade your 1911 with the Dawson Fiber Optic Front Sight, engineered specifically for shooters who demand speed, accuracy, and consistency.

Additionally, you can select either red or green fiber, allowing you to match your personal preference, shooting style, or competition requirements. Consequently, this sight not only improves aim but also builds confidence in high-pressure shooting scenarios.
Precision and Visibility
Capture Light and Reduce Glare
The fiber optic insert is designed to efficiently capture and amplify ambient light. Therefore, your front sight becomes easier to acquire quickly, which is especially valuable in fast-paced shooting environments. Meanwhile, the rear of the sight blade is carefully serrated, reducing glare while keeping the fiber glow highly visible on the upper portion. As a result, you experience faster target acquisition, improved sight alignment, and more consistent accuracy. Furthermore, this combination of fiber brightness and glare reduction ensures that your eye can naturally pick up the front sight under diverse lighting conditions, from bright daylight to overcast ranges.
Enhanced Brightness with Thunder Mountain Fibers
Maintain Peak Performance and Visibility
When paired with Thunder Mountain Custom Replacement Fibers, the Dawson front sight reaches its maximum brightness potential. Consequently, shooters not only benefit from improved sight clarity but also gain long-term performance consistency. Moreover, purchasing replacement fibers alongside the Dawson Sight provides an economical way to maintain peak performance over time, while also ensuring that your fiber optic insert continues to function optimally after repeated use. Therefore, you can enjoy both superior performance and cost-effective maintenance.
