Description

1911-22 Sight Replacement Picatinny Rail

I have designed this rail so that I could mount a red dot sight on my 1911.

Provided profile is for quality print using PTEG-CF, therefore the print time is high. Feel free to change the profile to the Standard 0.2mm if you want a quick print.

Developed and test fitted on a 1911-22 Sig-Sour. Please share your experience using it with other models!

Changelog:

2024-2-25:

V2 added
- Has thicker anchor point
- Added curvature to match the profile of the gun better
- Designed to be very tight, it may take some force to push the rail in place but when you do, it sits way tighter on the gun and is able to support a red dot without being wobbly like the V1 was.
- Added 2 new profiles
  - V2 PLA Tough
  - V2 PETG-CF
- [3/20/2024] I have finally had the time to go out and test the rail with a red dot on it
  - I was not able to zero in the red dot all the way, the rail is still too loose. It moves by a millimeter from left to right and vice versa. Thus I was never able to make clean shots dead on target but it was close enough for me to leave it on and keep using it. For me it was better and more consistent than shooting with the stock sights. I still want to revisit the design when I have time and try to make it more stable.
  - In terms of durability, it did not crack or otherwise break anywhere so that's a success! The rail I'm currently using is printed using PLA-CF.

Thank you! I wanted a red dot for my Sig Sauer 1911-22 but I could not find adapters in my country and models of Aliexpress didn't work. I am going to print in ABS. Can you say a cheap red dot? (I live in Europe) THANK YOU AGAIN!

I’ve been using https://a.co/d/aBNnfFa as far as visibility goes it’s very good for a red dot for that price point but I wasn’t able to zero it in yet 100% but it’s not a fault of that red dot but of the rail. I’m going to try to print one in nylon, see if that allows me to screw the bolt in tighter so it stays snug.
