Realize this vid is 4 yrs old. however, glad its here…because I have Tisas Duty model in 45 acp and want to put adjustable sites….and this video is just the thing…thank you…..from Montana!!!
@@allenarneson4349 Thank you for the response…it may be fine….or maybe not…yet, willing to give a try and hope for the best….I never learn, if do not try. I purchased a sight pusher, just for this reason. my only concern is the correction direction to remove and reinstall….i have watched other videos on 1911’s sight….some push from the right other from the left. Seems that many sights are slightly tapered on one end or the other and its important to try and find out from the manufacture if possible. I guess we’ll see…again, thank you and have a super week!
@@tyemiller6204 Just a heads up - I pushed from the right side to the left. Kinda following the directions from this video. When I tried pushing the sights in - they "seem" to go from Left side to the right side. You'll have to try and see which fits a little easier. If tough (won't even start in the Dovetail), then the other way around.
Glad I found your video. I have a Tisas Raider and am replacing the rear sight with a red dot sight mount. I hope it goes as easy as you made it look. 🍻 M8 🇦🇺🇺🇸
i wonder why no one has ever done wood sights. im thinking of doing that because i love the wood aesthetic obviously they wouldn't be adjustable but i could easily Sand or make another.
I own one in .45ACP. They're great 1911s for the money. I put about 150 rounds through mine so far with no issues at all. The only thing I didn't like is that it only came with one magazine.
I realize like others that this video is 4 years old. BUT - I have a Tisas 45ACP Duty and the sights did NOT come off that easy or go on as easy. Ordered the same LPA sights. I had to use my Sight-Tool Gen 4 to push the sights off and after a lot of fiddling with the LPA sights - I took them to a gun smith. Best I can tell the Dove tails do not match and removal of material on the bottom of the rear sight did not help either. Rather than destroying the sights, the gunsmith will have to do his magic. Just a heads up for others. Otherwise a very good video.
My front sight has a pin as well, I'm replacing my sights next week.. when you did this, did you tap it all the way out through to the inside of the slide or? I couldn't see what happened to the pin in the video.. Thankyou and any all info is highly appreciated.
Yes some pistols have the front sight with a small pin. I knocked this out with a small punch. You need a very small size punch for some pins. I pushed it through inside the slide.@@MrSteve0991
Yes, Tisas site cuts are not the same as standard cuts, at least that’s what I found with my 1911 D10. The Bomar cut on the gun is not the same spec and when I tried to install a red dot plate with bomar cut it didn’t fit. Good luck if you try to change out your sites on a Tisas. They’re great guns but the dovetail cuts are not standard. Oh yes, I had to use a sight pusher to get the original rear site off my gun. Super tight fit and came off really hard. Hopefully as Tisas guns get more popular there will be aftermarket sights that actually fit the dovetails.
The back flat on my Tisas was too high. I had to grind the flat lower and take metal off the back bottom of the sight. Waiting for the new front sight to come in.
Hey would you happen to know the dimensions for iron sights for a Tisas 1911 9mm stingray 4.25"? I wanna get night sights for it thanks for your time an great video!!
Hi I just got a Tisas 1911 Carry in all stainless steel. Can you tell me, are these the sights you used? SPF04XE ? I see all these Tisas vids and guys stating the price, I paid $570, price has gone up. Sights really need an upgrade!
Hi, I think you mean the original TISAS fixed sights. Yes this hex key is an unusual size. I filed down a 2.5 to make it a tight fit as the screws can be very tight. I filed a slight taper so it jams tight in the screw.
Great vid, Sir! Which particular model of LPAs is this? I also own 9mm Tisas 1911 and I am about to replace the sights. Thank you in advance for answer.
@@ozzistraightshooter9273 Another question: does replacing only rear sight make any sense? I.e. MPS1KB30 is almost at half of SPF price? Will stock front sight work with LPAs?
Yes you can replace the rear sight only. I have replaced several with the rear sight that does not have fiber optic. It works fine as long as you don't need fiber optic.
Now my Tisas is upgraded with LPA adjustable rear sight. The only issue I have encountered is the Allen wrench - does not fit these tiny locking screws.
LPA make a sight series called Luminova which is good at night and has exactly the same fitting method as the Fiber optic ones I fitted in the Video. I haven't tried Tritium so I don't have first hand experience fitting Tritium sights on the TISAS.
I have fitted this sight to a Tisas 9mm PC but never tried on the 45. I think there is a good chance it will fit as I think TISAS uses a standard dovetail on most 1911's
Hi, If you have a GI style 1911 then it will have the front sight staked in and the rear sight with a narrow dovetail. This is harder to change but you can fit the TPU45CT rear sight and it will give you an adjustable sight for target shooting. The TPU45CT works with the standard front sight on the GI pistol. It is more difficult to change the front sight to fiber optic if your front sight is staked in. It is possible but is a delicate job.
Watching this again , You gave me the confidence to do this myself. Thank you so much

I hope you have better luck with your LPA sights than I did. I finally took my 1911 to the gunsmith.

Great video Mate!

What about the pin for the front sight?
These are bargain 1911s. I just ordered mine from RPG Firearms I'm NSW. Can't wait to shoot it
I own one in .45ACP. They're great 1911s for the money. I put about 150 rounds through mine so far with no issues at all. The only thing I didn't like is that it only came with one magazine.

I have the same B45 duty , I hope my TruGlo TFX sights will go on easy
Me too. I had to lower the back shelf on the slide and take metal off the new sight. Rear sight would not come off, I had to cut it off.
Awsome video, very informative.
Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
My front sight has a pin as well, I'm replacing my sights next week.. when you did this, did you tap it all the way out through to the inside of the slide or? I couldn't see what happened to the pin in the video..

Sir I have a Tisas Zigana F. Which sight would fit on it. Can you help me out please
Hey would you happen to know the dimensions for iron sights for a Tisas 1911 9mm stingray 4.25"? I wanna get night sights for it thanks for your time an great video!!
Hi I don't have one of these pistols but I think any Novak style sights will fit, but may need some fine fitting.
Hi I just got a Tisas 1911 Carry in all stainless steel. Can you tell me, are these the sights you used? SPF04XE ? I see all these Tisas vids and guys stating the price, I paid $570, price has gone up. Sights really need an upgrade!
Yes SPF04XE is a good fit on many Tisas 1911's and any 1911 with the Novak dovetail.
Hope you are still around. What size wrench did you use for the real stock sights. 2mm doesn't seem to work and 2.5mm is too big.
Hi, I think you mean the original TISAS fixed sights. Yes this hex key is an unusual size. I filed down a 2.5 to make it a tight fit as the screws can be very tight. I filed a slight taper so it jams tight in the screw.
Can you tell me what the front sight cut is on the Tisas? I know it's a Novak copy, but is it 330x60 or 330x65?
Hi Kenneth, I don't have a pistol on hand at the moment so I haven't been able to check this for you. Will check the measurement as soon as I can.
Any luck with figuring out the proper size?
Great vid, Sir!
Which particular model of LPAs is this? I also own 9mm Tisas 1911 and I am about to replace the sights.
Thank you in advance for answer.
Hi, The SPF04XE is the most popular sight I fit on TISAS 1911's.

What night sights are good for the Tisas Duty model?
LPA make a sight series called Luminova which is good at night and has exactly the same fitting method as the Fiber optic ones I fitted in the Video. I haven't tried Tritium so I don't have first hand experience fitting Tritium sights on the TISAS.
Friend, this front size is compatible with IWI Jericho 941F steel?
No, I don't think it will fit and match with the rear sight.
what size allen set screw to remove tisas rear sight? Thanks
2.0mm allen key is what I use.
Will this work for 9mm version?
It will work on any pistol with the same dovetail. NOVAK cut.
Can this fit on 1911 zig pc tisas acp 45?
I have fitted this sight to a Tisas 9mm PC but never tried on the 45. I think there is a good chance it will fit as I think TISAS uses a standard dovetail on most 1911's
My tisas 1911 has way different stock sights

@@ozzistraightshooter9273 thanks for the info and yea mine does have the GI Style
Pin will be in way of bullet
