Accessories for Tanfoglio Witness 1911

(2 products)

The Witness 1911 is Tanfoglio's take on the classic 1911 pattern. Its rear sight dovetail is its own, so Toni System makes mounts specifically for it rather than using generic 1911 parts cut for Novak or BoMar slides.

Two mounts

Type A holds optics with the RMSc, DPP or Docter footprint. Type B holds the RMR or RTS footprint. Any optic built to the listed pattern fits, whatever its brand.

Why a dot on a 1911

A 1911's trigger is one of its strengths, and a red dot lets you use it fully: the eye stays on the target and the dot shows exactly where the gun points as the shot breaks. It also helps shooters whose eyes no longer focus sharply on a front sight.

Fitting

Drift the factory rear sight out, slide the mount in, centre it and fit the optic. A sight pusher makes it easier; there is no milling.

The mounts are in Red dot mounts for Tanfoglio Witness 1911. The Custom version has its own page.
