Richard, I do not have a RIA or any experience with that company so I am very apprehensive giving out any advise. But I did find the RIA forum sight that would have just about every question you have answered: http://forum.m1911.org/forumdisplay.php?f=17Good Luck!Noel

You will have to get a set which is designed for the Colt Govt. Model. The front sight is staked via a tenen which goes through the slide. This requires a special tool to stake the tenen, so this is an armorer or gunsmith level job. Brownells website is a good source of information. Hope this helps.

None will fit. It already comes with night sights. Don't think you can change them.

The rear sight is a dovetail sized for old style government model 1911 as the front is a staked pin requiring a steaming tool to install. If your pistol is equipped with these old style sights they will fit but in my experience I would not try to install the front sight without a proper tool and you should expect to have to do some fitting of the rear sight as well.

Good morning,Thank you for the email. Yes these have been mounted on 1911's before, but you need to buy the right mount as well. I would recommend getting a hold of Burris to get the appropriate base. You can give them your exact model of pistol and they will be able to tell you the right base for you to mount the sight correctly. You can reach them at (970) 356-1670. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.Thanks and God bless

I don't know about that. I bought them for my sig sauer 1911 and they didn't fit, I had to return them. Afterwards I called sig to find out what sights would work and they make there own set that was only $99.

I had the sights put on a Taurus 1911 without any problem. I don't about an Armscor M1911.

Not sure about what you asking. But will fit any tactical rail. I love these sights

Yes they will fit without mods to the pistol. The sights themselves will require a small amount of sanding/filing. FYI get a green rear and red front . Both 1 color is to 'busy' for me.

If you modify?? I think it would cost more for the modification than the gun is worth and it would look ugly as sin. Get a red dot or real ruger target sights.

My sights went on a Glock 22 and I am very happy with it. I checked a popular Glock accessory site and it said that this sight fits all Glock slides. If you're still unsure, contact your local gunsmith.

All is the same except the width. Sights from 9mm and 40 M&Ps will fit the Shield but might be wider than normal but will still work. I have yet to find one that hangs over the edge of the slide.

The dovetail is the same but the slide length to the rear is not, some M&P; sights might extend over the end. Also be aware that the Shield sights are VERY tight, if you intend to do the install yourself, have a proper vice and non-marring or brass taps.

There are two pins on the iron sights, you will need to pound those out and mount it on top the existing iron sights.

1911 springs are interchangeable throughout almost all models if it has a standard 1911 frame in a 9mm, 0.45cal or 357 it should fit just fine. I do know on the 9mm it may cause the slide to close prematurely and snag the shell casing on its way out.

The see all sight fits all weaver and picatinny rails. So there is nothing special you need.

I'm not sure an armorer will better explain. There is a possible size difference in the slide. But these sights are beautiful. Buy them and let a qualified person install them, if he says they won't work you have a few days for return.

I looked at the different model sights and did not see for your gun. Call 1-800-530-9028 for a better answer. The Sights are great

The sights were too wide for my liking, they seem to be made for a wider pistol (double stack magazine sized pistol instead of a single stack like the XDs). I returned mine because the rear sight would over hang each side of the slide due to its width. If that doesn't bother you, they appear well made.
