The Harrison Design HD-001 rear sight meets a unique need in the firearms marketplace, serving two main purposes. First, it allows the owner of an existing pistol, equipped with a low mounted BoMar rear sight the option of replacing it with a hard-use fixed rear sight with features better suited to tactical and self defense use. Second, the HD-001 affords the opportunity to install this sight as original equipment, creating sight cuts that could be used in the future to install an adjustable rear sight, should the owner want to re-equip the pistol for a different mission...

First, it allows the owner of an existing pistol, equipped with a low mounted BoMar rear sight the option of replacing it with a hard-use fixed rear sight with features better suited to tactical and self defense use. Second, the HD-001 affords the opportunity to install this sight as original equipment, creating sight cuts that could be used in the future to install an adjustable rear sight, should the owner want to re-equip the pistol for a different mission.
Fully radiused design to eliminate sharp corners and edges encountered during deployment. Forward blade design has a squared off shoulder to facilitate one handed operation for malfunction clearance. Rear notch widened to .135" to allow more visible light into sight picture for faster acquisition. Rear of blade serrated 50 lpi to eliminate glare and make the appearance uniform, regardless of the direction of ambient light.
The design allows a minimum of .030" windage adjustment in each direction, creating the ability to correct for roughly 3" of error at 20 yards. Unique two-piece design allows the HD-001 to be mounted in both the "Deluxe" box cut and the "Standard" open cut. The rugged hidden lug joining the dovetail base to the sight body makes this sight more than adequate for hard-use service.

The BT-101 Beavertail Fitting Tool is designed to aid the pistolsmith or advanced hobbyist in fitting any beavertail grip safety to 1911 pattern pistols. Specifically, it serves to solidly hold the beavertail out in the "trigger blocking" position, while allowing you to use both hands to control your rotary hand grinder while shaping the top matching joint between beavertail and frame, for "top registered" beavertails.
To use the BT-101, fit the beavertail to the frame and do all the normal shaping below the beavertail and frame that you'd normally perform. The BT-101 fits in the trigger bow track of the frame and stops against the front end of the mag well opening. Install as illustrated with the sliding pin to the rear and the notch of the body to the right.
Install the beavertail and thumb safety in the frame, along with the mainspring housing and its retaining pin. Turn the setscrew in until the beavertail swings all the way out until it's solidly in the trigger blocking position. I find I can achieve this by turning the screw with my fingers, finishing with the slightest tweak of an allen wrench. Use your hand grinder to shape the frame tangs into the beavertail's upper surface. I rough in the shape with a 60 grit sanding drum and finish the surfaces with a 320 grit flap wheel.
The BT-101 Beavertail Fitting Tool is available from Brownells, Inc. (part number 100-002-919), or from Harrison Design as part number BT-101. The tool sells for $38.95 plus $5.00 for shipping by USPS Priority Mail. The tool can be ordered and paid for through PayPal by going to www.paypal.com and clicking "Send Money". My paypal account name is John@HarrisonCustom.com. Follow the on-line instructions to order the tool. I will ship within two days.
