Thanks to tdbarton for posting the photos. Top photo....10-8 NM sight is on the left; Fermin's is on the right. middle photo; 10-8 NM is the bottom; Fermin's on the top. Bottom photo; same as middle.
I found fitting Fermin's sight was beyond my skill level to do well as the "extensions" that sit on the top of the frame gave me fits when trying to lower the male dovetail to seat to the bottom of the slot. Had to work on both the dovetail itself and the bottom of the extensions to get the sight to "bottom out" in the slot; which it did not. Finally gave up and called it good. Someone more skilled than I could have probably done a better job.
Fitting the 10-8 NM sight was more straight forward for me as I have a LOT of 1911 experience. The angle of the sight base was different from the Ruger's slot but it was no big deal to me as we were working on a single plane. Cosmetically the NM sight could be a bit wider at its' base to fill the slot side to side, but we can live with that and, depending on the gun, the fit may prevent the sight overhanging the frame if much windage adjustment is required. On our gun, it zeros pretty much centered.
Bear in mind, the example of Fermin's sight that I have is a prototype, so I'd bet its' design is still in the fluid stage. On our two .32 SSs both are way better than the little factory bugger that comes on these guns. We like big, bold rear sights!
