Well we do have our individual preferences, but the one thing I like with the Novak's is that they seem to know what the width of the front sight should be for a good clean sight picture and that front dot is easy to pick up. But, that could be a personal thing. Every 1911 I've ever fired that wore Novak's was about as good as it gets for my aging eyes.

My shooting partner put the Tru-Glo Fiber Optic/Tritiums on his HK VP9 and M&P Mod 2 - 5". They look good, but that's a bit more difficult to gauge because their triggers are . . . well, decent enough for striker-fired poly-frames. Shooting something like the Dan Wesson CCO that came with the Novak Tritiums, and an excellent trigger of around 3.5#, that does make a difference.

You might also want to be aware that if something goes wrong in installation and a sight has to be replaced. Tru-Glo does not sell them individually so you'll have to buy the set, front and rear. If in doubt, get them installed by a gunsmith.

Never seen better sights on a 1911, and a few others as well, than Novak's. For a series 70 that'll probably mean some dovetails will have to be cut. And, of course, tritiums are available.
