Fiber optic sites for my 1911

Jim Watson said:
If your RO is zeroed with the present sights, get the same height as the plain blade that is on there now. If the rear is way up or down, you might want to get a different height front so as to put your rear in the middle of its adjustments. There are guidelines on the Dawson site... about sights

I called Dawson and the guy on the phone told me how to figure the height I need but not how to figure the width. How do I tell how wide and whether I should get wide ramped serrated or wide partridge serrated. It's a SA Loaded Target 9mm 1911
 
Sight width is a matter of personal preference.
Many shooters are going to blades narrower than the usual .125".
I like .110" but they are selling a lot of .100" sights.
Ramp vs Patridge doesn't matter much with a FO insert unless your holster needs the ramp.
