Frequently Asked Questions 

What makes Novak sights unique compared to other sight types?

Novak sights are renowned for their low-profile design, offering a streamlined appearance without compromising sight picture, making them popular among 1911 enthusiasts.

Are Novak sights compatible with all 1911 models?

While Novak sights are designed for a broad range of 1911 models, compatibility varies. Prominent manufacturers like Colt, Springfield Armory, and Kimber, among others, often have models compatible with Novak sight cuts.

How do I know if my 1911 is compatible with a Novak sight cut?

You can refer to your firearm's manual, consult the manufacturer, or check with a qualified gunsmith. Additionally, our product descriptions often list compatibility details.

Can I install Novak sights on my 1911 by myself?

While some experienced firearm owners might feel comfortable doing so, we generally recommend having Novak sights installed by a professional gunsmith to ensure accuracy and safety.

What's the difference between a standard dovetail and a Novak-style dovetail?

Sights sold by Fusion Firearms there is no difference. They will both have the same rear sight that measures 0.495 by 65 degree and front sight that measures 0.330 by 65 degree.

Why are there different finishes like white dot, fiber optic, and tritium for Novak sights?

Different finishes cater to various preferences and shooting conditions. For instance, fiber optic sights offer a bright sight picture in well-lit conditions, while tritium sights glow in the dark, ideal for low-light scenarios.

Are Novak sights suitable for both competitive shooting and everyday carry?

Absolutely! Novak sights are versatile, offering quick target acquisition for competitive shooting and a low-profile design ideal for concealed carry.

Do Novak sights affect the resale value of my 1911?

Quality sights like Novak can enhance the value of a firearm, especially if they're seen as an upgrade over the original sights. However, market demand and the overall condition of the firearm also play significant roles in determining resale value.

Can I use Novak sights on pistols other than the 1911?

While Novak sights are primarily designed for the 1911, some might fit other pistol models with Novak-style dovetail cuts. Always ensure compatibility before making any modifications.

How do I care for and maintain my Novak sights?

Regular inspection after shooting sessions is crucial. Clean the sights gently with a soft cloth and avoid using abrasive materials. If the sight has luminous features, avoid exposing it to extreme light or heat, which might reduce its lifespan.

Are Novak sights good?

Absolutely! Novak sights are well-known for their accuracy and durability, making them popular among gun owners. They are also much easier to change out rather that steak on sights.

Is a laser better than a red dot?

A laser is a focused beam of light that emits a pinpoint dot on the target. It can be useful in low light conditions or for quick target acquisition. However, lasers can be affected by atmospheric conditions such as fog or smoke, and they require batteries which may run out at inconvenient times. Additionally, a laser can give away the shooter's position if not used carefully. A red dot sight, on the other hand, projects an illuminated dot onto a small screen that allows the shooter to aim with both eyes open. Red dots are often faster to acquire than traditional iron sights and can be used in a wide range of lighting conditions. They also tend to be more durable than lasers and have a longer battery life.

Can you see a red dot sight at night?

Yes, some red dot sights have built-in LED lights that allow you to see your target even in the dark. 

What is a Novak cut in 1911?

The Novak sight cut is a popular type of dovetail cut used for mounting sights on pistols, particularly 1911-style pistols.

Front Sight Dimensions- .330 width x .075 Depth x 65 Degrees
Rear Sight Dimensions- .495 width x .275 Depth x 65 Degrees 

This type of cut allows for installing aftermarket sights, such as those made by Novak. Customers consider it one of the best cuts available for these types of firearms.
