I have a real hard time with fixed sights on anything, as I tend to like heavy bullets, and play around enough. The Novak Adjustable Extreme duty has been a great sight so far.


When I talked to Novak we were only discussing the front sight. I am sure that there would be no problem putting a Novak on the rear. On further research I believe that the front Novak will also work at least the current R1's. My R1 has a front cut that is about .040 smaller than what my research shows a front Novak is, so with the proper dovetail cutter it can be enlarged.

Perhaps earlier R1's had a different cut and that is why the Novak guy thought it would not work.
