Colt Gold Cup Rear Sight

[Who Me?]

Does anyone know of a direct replacement rear sight for the '70 series Colt Gold Cup?  I don't want to have the slide milled for a dovetail and I would prefer a sight that is "carry-friendly"  no sharp edges or corners.

I know that Millet makes a 3 Dot replacement sight for the Gold Cup,  but the rear sight is basically the same as the Elliason sight on the Gold Cup, but with two Dots. 

 I wouldn't mess with a 70 Series Gold Cup.  In good condition they are going for $900-$1000 at gun shows and on the internet.   Buy yourself a Springfield if you want a 1911 for a carry gun.   You can never have too many 45s

I saw the Millet sight and I might have to try that.  I already "messed" with it!    I replaced the front sight with a Hi-Viz fiber optic sight, but I could restore the gun back to original.  Same thing if I replace the rear sight with a drop-in part.  I bought it new in 1982 or 1983.  It's condition is about 95%.  A friend of mine just bought a "Loaded" Springfield and likes it very much.  It looks like a good pistol for the money.  But, I bought the Gold Cup to shoot, so I do!    I also have a 4" Colt Python that I bought in 1973 which I shoot, but not as much as the .45 which I shoot in a combat league.
