I have contacted Ati and person sent me a spec sheet via email,but it does not help me very much. I have found several sight that offer sights with Tenons, but i have no clue as to size. I did contact one online source that said sight is milled on the slide. And another that it is held in place with a tenon,but that video is over 7yrs old. thanks fo

It is a staked front sight and you expand the tenon with a special punch to fit it. here's a Brownell's video on how to do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyi0-QlWruY https://www.brownells.com/handgun-parts/sights/sight-sets/1911-fire-sight-fiber-optic-sight-sets-prod70800.aspx
