It's a well-known fact in 1911 'smithing/fiddling circle that Kimber rear fixed sights are tight. Really, truly, and legendarily tight. Presumably this is to discourage persons who value reliability over slightly reduced liability from removing the Schwartz 'drop safety' firing pin block.
I just happened upon these picture while perusing the
Roger's Precision site. It appears that Roger, likely standing within reach of sight pusher or a hydralic press, felt the need to mill through the sight base to remove the sight.
Now that's tight!
