I am purchasing a new Blk stainless springfield with adg. sites for carry. Could I purchase a new slide with the low mount novak sites somewhere. Or could I just carry as is. My concern is the adj. sites snagging on my clothing? Please Help = (

  I'm not familiar with this particular gun, but if it's patterned like most 1911's, you should be able to get a Novak to replace the stock sight.

  You may do either one. I have a 5" Springfield stainless 1911 with adjusable sights. I shoot it with the slide and barrel from my Kimber CDP-Pro. This slide is 4" with low profile night sights. Changing the slide can be a hit or miss proposition. When you buy another slide it may not work properly without being fitted to your frame. In my case it worked fine without modifying anything. I have a lot of 1911 style pistols and I like to swap parts from one to another. I have been working with 1911 pistols for 40 years and I don't recommend this to people who are not familiar with what to look for when trying this.
