The TRUGLO Fiber Optic Sight Set for 1911 Kimber gives you a quick-acquisition sight picture built for shooters who demand speed and reliability. This red front and green rear configuration combines the brightness of fiber optic technology with the contrast that matters when you need to get on target fast—whether you're running drills at the range, competing, or carrying for defense. The contrasting colors work together to naturally guide your eye to proper sight alignment, and the fiber optic rods gather ambient light without requiring batteries, so they perform in low-light scenarios where most sights fade.
Built from CNC-machined steel, these sights are engineered to take hard use without compromise. The low-profile design won't snag your holster or slow your draw, and the sights won't hang up on gear when you need speed. The rear sight uses two individual fiber optic elements to maximize light collection across the sight picture, while the rods themselves are recessed and protected within the sight channels—keeping them safe from impacts and hidden from downrange. This approach means you get the durability of steel with the optical performance that separates fast shooters from the rest.
The install is straightforward: the rear sight fits to your 1911 Kimber's dovetail with a set screw for positive retention, while the front sight screws on for tool-free replacement when you want to experiment with different sight pictures or swap in a backup. Height matches the factory sight profile on your Kimber, so you get zero compatibility surprises out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these sights fit my 1911 Kimber?
Yes. The rear sight dovetails into your Kimber's slide, and the front sight screws on. Heights match factory 1911 specifications, so installation is straightforward.
Do the fiber optic rods require batteries?
No. The fiber optic elements gather ambient light passively, so they work without batteries in sunlight, indoors, and low-light settings. You get the brightness benefit without power requirements.
Can I change these sights easily?
Yes. The rear sight is held in by a set screw at the dovetail, and the front sight screws on. Both can be swapped quickly, making it easy to experiment with different sight configurations or carry backups.
Are the fiber optic rods protected?
Fully. The rods are recessed and protected inside the sight channels, so they're shielded from impact and remain out of view downrange.
