- Novak Lo-Mount
-
The Novak Lo-Mount rear sight was designed by Wayne Novak of Parkersburg, WV and his company Novak Designs, Inc. manufactures it. It is installed as OEM standard on many factory custom pistols like the Springfield Loaded models and Smith & Wesson autos. Novak's Lo-Mount rear sight is available in either plain black, or a three dot or bar-dot pattern of either white dots or tritium lamps. Novak also makes a "tall" version of this sight that is approximately .050" taller than the standard sight. This tall version was developed for use on Officer's ACP-length guns but is also found on longer guns that have had match barrels fitted that now shoot a little lower than they did originally. Several sight manufacturers make a copy of the Novak sight or a version of their sight to fit the Novak dovetail. Novak makes a version of their Lo-Mount that fits the rear sight cuts on both the SW1911[1] and Kimber 1911[2] pistols.
Two of the most popular fixed sight installations are the Novak Lo-Mount and the Heinie Slant-Pro[3].
