This sight cost me $72. They tell you get a gunsmith to put it on... well i just did it myself. And more important didn't bang up the gun, which would make the whole thing not worth it, of course So long as you pad everything and are careful, almost anyone can do it. You need a 1/16 drill (I needed 2 because one broke). And a drift punch of the same size, straight not tapered. I just put the gun on a plastic surface and tapped out the roll pin with my gunsmith hammer and the punch. Made doubly sure NOT to lose the bloody pin. Then to fit the new sit into the slot left behind. It is sized to fit tightly in the slot on the gun. Just tapping or pressing the sight in did not work, it wanted to just bend over and not go in! But chamfering the lower edges with a file did the trick. Using great care NOT to make the hole any larger. I just tried to hold the drill straight as possible, a drill press would have been nice, but I don't have one. So the idea is first drill mostly through one side, then from the other. You know you hit paydirt when you see black debris floating from the hole. Then just tap that little pin back in place and it's done. I did use a vise to do some of this, well padded with a t-shirt. Only tightened the vise barely enough to not let the gun move and no tighter. If I ever do it again I will strip the gun down to just the frame - it is easier to clamp that way. I didn't take more pictures because there's no reason, so long as you go slow and careful you'll do it right.Read full review
