Craig,

That 'sight protection' is what sold me on the Novak as well and the sight body does not have as many sharp 'edges' as some others. While this is strictly a 'hunting' 1911, years of habit causes me to limit the number of sharp edges on a handgun. Easier on the jackets, shirts, and 'hide'.

I'll have to take another look at the 'meat' in the slide around the 'cut'. I like melded sights, but it may remove too much metal. Thanks for the 'head up'.
