Seahawk,
Possible issue is people in the 80’s would get lazy and install a rear sight on HPs with a 1911 dovetail vice the correct HP specific model. This happened more than occasionally with _______s using the incorrect Milletts, usually by modifying the dovetail in the slide vice file on the cheaper rear sight and still being unable to zero for elevation.
Corrective action depended specifics of pistol (blue, hard chrome, nickel, or paint) and how much the customer wanted to spend. Spent a couple of college years addressing this and would get one or two a month.
If filing I strongly suggest using a padded vice to keep the finish from being marred while holding the slide.
Web sites to look at include the FALFiles, 1911.org, and hipowersandhandguns.
