So.... I have this real nice Colt Lightweight officer and I want to replace the factory rear sight with a recently purchased Harrison retro rear sight
Harrison Design & Consulting, LLC.. HD-003 Retro rear sight
Having never tried anything like this before I was not sure what to expect or how it would go. I got the old sight off with out issues but the new sight is larger than the one I removed. My question is what is the best way to fit the rear sight and not mess anything up.
I assume you want to fit the sight to the slide and not the slide to the sight but what is the best way to do this??
I am half tempted to just drop off the slide at a gunsmith and pay the $50 for the installation.
Any advise?
Thanks
Andy
