This is a pistol I recently purchased. Its a colt 1911 with a Randall Slide. As you can see in the pic its missing its front sight. So tonight I am up late so I decided what the heck, I would stake in a new sight. Problem is as you can see in the second pic the hole does not have the normal square hole. Any ideas on finding a correct sight? Otherwise I will be filing the hole square.

If memory is correct that was the way they came . Do not do any mods to it until you do some research .I think they had a very small screw in them. But most were pinned. losing the front sight post was not uncommon
I will do some looking.
Trade it maybe for a glock never.
Randall used a lot of out sourcing or parts but some model can be hard to find parts for. A sight from someoen like Midway should go right in if no one has messed with it

Many places like Midway offer front sight post that should drop right in cheap apart.
It may not be worth having a high end front sight custom fitted.
There is a very good chance this is what you have
