Snowman pistol sights?
I don't know the actual name of this style of sight, or if there is even a common name. But I'm picking up a used 1911 as a project gun and I've been thinking about trying something new for the sights. I normally default to 10-8 sights, with a blacked out rear and tritium front.
Now I'm thinking of trying out a ghost-ring style rear sight with a single tritium dot in the middle.
I was wondering if anybody has had any experience in using these kind of sights, and if so what they though.

I've been using the Ameriglo iDot Pro sights for a while now and I've grown to prefer 2 dots over the typical 3-dot setup. Easier to acquire; one less thing to consider in a fight for your life.
They aren't exactly the same but similar:

I think the Heinie Straight Eight were the first to use this design, I may be wrong though. The Heinie Straight Eight are used on the Nighthawk Customs Heinie edition pistols.

I have a set of the Heinie's on my HK 45. I love them.

thanks for the input.
Now I'm wondering how the large opening of the Novak will work out. I'm guessing it will act kind of like a ghost ring... don't really know if thats a good thing or not.
