RIA 1911-A1 CS Rear Sights

[Ahgo]

I'm looking at replacing the rear sights on my RIA 1911-A1 CS. I want adjustable sights. My problem is that I don't know which sights are compatible with my handgun. Could anyone out there suggest an adjustable rear sight that would fit my gun?

What does CS stand for?
I know on my tactical, the sights look like Novaks, but they are not a Novak dovetail.

I believe it stands for "compact size". The rear sights are dovetail, but the front sights are fixed.

The front sight is pinned and you could have a gunsmith replace it also if you were so inclined.

Rear sights on a standard RIA compact are standard military dovetail, front sight it a narrow tinon{sp} sight .
The rear is .330x65 the front is stake on narrow tenon .055''. I have used on my compact that re not to expensive, these are a 3 dot from Fusion Firearms.

If you have the Novak style, look here The M1911 Pistols Organization Forums Site - Sight size for RIA Compact?

If you have the GI type, you'll need a Colt or GI cut sight.
