My first time shooting a 1911 and am muscling the trigger and nose diving the barrel (I normally shoot a DA GP-100).

With some conscious trigger training and having a POA about 2" above the bulls eye put shoots dead center. I would like to get a lower front site...Anyone suggest and aftermarket site?
Whoa...stop....hold on a sec. You want to change your sights because you're not shooting bullseye's with your first 1911 which also happens to be a 3 inch model, the hardest to shoot out of all of them? You shot really low the first time out and second time out you're a bit high.

Buy more ammo and learn to shoot it before even thinking of changing the sights!!!

No Pictures????? Didn't happen! Send us dirty gun pictures! LOL.... I'd agree with an earlier post. Get used to the gun before you even think about changing the sights.

Where are the pics?

I'm gonna be ready for a new nice 1911 (and a Rock) by the end of the year, and am considering an ECO.
