RIA Sights and Parts Upgrade Sources

[KY45Luver]

I am now the owner of a RIA Model CS Tactical 1911A1 Officers (Compact) .45 ACP pistol with
a 3-1/2 inch barrel and Parkerized finish and here it is :

I have two questions for you more knowledgable than I am about these great little .45 autos:
(1.) Where can I get a set of three-dot sights for this little feller, and what type of base
do I need to look for on the sights?
(2.) Where is a good source of parts for this little feller too, and will Colt Officer Model parts
work on it?
I have already order a set of Houge Wraparound Grips for it, but would also like to do some
more upgrades on it, i.e. trigger, etc.
Thanks for any info you can supply to help me "dress" this little guy up a bit!

Try Champion Sights 404-691-7611. The dovetails are for a standard Novak cut. A good smith with a mill should be able to put on anything you want.

Most 1911 parts will work but will require fitting.

I just drilled 3 dots in mine. The pic shows them as RED dots, I've since changed them to WHITE since you couldn't see them well Red. Sorry I don't have a pic of them white.

Why do I believe that this pistol has a 3" barrel and not a 3.5" one?? :)

Both the box and the Spec Sheet that came with this gun states that the barrel is 3-1/2 inches long.
Here's a look at the front/back of the Spec sheet info:
