Description

Is there really a difference with Dawson Precision® sights? You bet there is!

While other sights give off a hazy glow making it difficult to focus, Dawson Precision® sights offer you the sharpest picture. We counterbore the blade so the optic is recessed. This subtle difference focuses the light in the sight making it not only brighter, but clearer. A fully cradled optic provides a longer optic lifespan.

Sight Details:

  • DESIGNED FOR Para® 1911 pistols.
  • Dawson Fixed Carry Fiber Optic Rear, .410" Tall x .125" Notch Width Serrated (Requires .150" Tall Front Sight)
  • Replaces factory Warthog rear ONLY.
  • Counter Bored Optic: Keeps sight picture CLEAR and BRIGHT.
  • Dark Shadow Serrations: BLACKOUT blade and ENHANCE optic.
  • Extra Optic Included – Both Red and Green
  • Easy to Install – Tools, Hardware, and Instructions Included

    Requires modification to work

    Posted by Angela on Apr 14th 2026

    I got this for my boyfriend's 80 series Warthog. He assembled everything but quickly realized that the firing pin would not go in all the way due to the firing pin plunger not being able to sit properly on the underside of the sight. This took way too long to figure out but when he figured it out he had to remove the sight to compare it to the old one that he had removed. The old one had a larger notch on the underside to accommodate the plunger. So he used a Dremel tool to cut out the notch a little bit more and then it worked. Also they provide a punch to install the sight which also requires more modification because now it has damaged the finish on it and has to be fixed to look nice. Overall, the sight works well and the fiber optics are nice. But I would not recommend purchasing this for an 80 series Warthog.

    Great customer service

    The Rep spent a lot of time with me on the phone to make sure I got what I wanted and what would work best. He also walked me through the installation process and explained common pitfalls and equipment that should be avoided. On top of all that the sights exceeded my expectations and shoots exactly where it should. Will be using Dawson Precision again.

    Requires Hand Fitting

    Posted by Ray on Mar 9th 2017

    It's a sturdy product made of carbon steel, and the fiber optic sights were very bright. I had to file off 0.015" from the dovetail and substantially more material from the front to make it fit my subcompact Para Ordnance 1911 clone. I'm glad it came with an aluminum punch because it took me 4 attempts to finally install it.
