Fixing three dot front sight

[denfoote]

The white insert came out of the front sight of my 1911 (no, it's not my Springfield)!!!
Now, there is just a hole where it used to be. :banghead:
Any ideas how to replace just the insert without having to go out and buy a whole new sight?? The gun is a IAI M5000, which is no longer made. I only spent $250 on it and don't want to put to much money into it. Now, that I have my Springer, it's not necessary anyway!!

bury it in the desert.


seriously, either paint over the other two dots, or fill up the hole with model paint.

You can get a little can of Rust-Oleum white enamel paint and use a fine brush to fill in the hole. Clean and de-grease the sight first or it will just pop out again.

I went with good old fashoned nail polish!!!
