  5. What is the difference between a bo-mar style cut and an LPA TRT style? Is it just the dovetail? So if i were cutting a new dovetail for my rear sight anyways this shouldnt matter...i just have to buy the right dovetail bit yes? 04-01-2013, 11:47 AM #2.

  6. Mar 10, 2011 · The Range Officer is an LPA cut. The MilSpec's dovetail is a USGI dovetail, not really a BoMar dovetail. A BoMar sight or mount could be fitted to it, but is sits very high and hangs off the rear of the slide.

  7. Choose the dovetail that looks closest to the existing cut on your 1911 slide. Notice the Bo-mar and LPA/TRT are very close in initial appearance but there are a few key differences that will help in determining the correct option.
