I recently got a full-size .45 by Springfield. It's awesome. It has some problems though. I don't like the adjustable rear match sights that came with it. I don't like the plastic grips that came with it. I want more than the 7 round mags have to offer.
So, what would you recommend I check out as rear sights go? What do you like as far as a more reasonable, say 10 rnd, mag goes? Which mfg? What do you like for rubber grips, if any?

I use Mec-gar 8 round mags in my springfield. It did not like the Novaks, but my colt does. I would go with Dawson sights, they make a great front fiber optic that makes a great pair. For grips check out this link, he has just about anything you would want. http://www.vzgrips.com/grips.html

Quote: I don't like the adjustable rear match sights that came with it. Do you know what maker's rear sight are on the pistol now. If they are Novak you have a number of options. If they are Bomar then you don't have as many options.

Wilson Combat Mags Hogue Palm Swell Rubber grips Plain black Bowmar or Wichita competition round corner sights.
These work for me, YMMV
