Night Sight Install

[RangerEric]

Hey guys -

I've been out of the Salem area for the last couple years, and the place I always used to go to for this stuff is closed now, anybody have a recommendation for someplace in the Salem area that isn't Guncrafters where I can get a set of night sights installed on a glock for relatively cheap, and relatively quickly? Thanks!

@Velzey is great if your willing to drive up to SE Portland for it.

Maybe someone knows someone closer.

 

[RangerEric]

Closer would be better, but Portland works too! Thanks for the suggestion man!

I figured it was too much trouble trying to find a gunsmith so I bought a few punches on Amazon and did the ones on my Beretta 92 a few weeks ago with no issues. I've heard mixed things about all of the pusher tools including the really expensive ones but a punch and a hammer always works.

Haha, yeah, I could've long since paid for the nicest installation tools in existence for as many times as I've paid to have sights installed.

Try Koonce Firearms off of misson street in salem.

I installed my own. i ground down the appropriate size socket to fit the front sight screw and then put my slide in my vise with wood jaws and used a punch with a 22LR spent casing on it (to convert it from a steel punch to a brass punch) and punched out the rear sight and GENTLY(rumor has it tritium capsules can break) tapped the tritium rear sight in. i centered it by making a mark in the middle of my slide and middle of the sight. after i got it super close to center i measured the edge of the slide to edge of sight with a digital caliper and moved accordingly until perfectly center. no special tools required unless a $10 digital caliper from Harbor Freight is considered special.

Oh, dang, I know Todd Koonce... Totally forgot about that option, thanks man.
