Awesome job, and I like those sights! But JD, that flyer.....well...its a little more like a 7ring breaking the 8 ring line..
Ignorance is a long way from stupid, but left unchecked, can get there real fast.

Scared the hell out of my the first time I did it. Banging on something with a hammer that's small and fragile and costs 100+ dollars was not fun...

Nice install,..and great shooting. Did you use a pusher or did you do it the old fashion way..?

That it is, but an 8 is an 8 is an 8.

Pusher, was a little hard as there's not enough flat on the slide, had to use a wedge to keep the slide vertical.

Thanks, I'm pretty happy with them so far. Not sure if I'm going to stick with the red fiber optic or switch to the green. I think if I were to shoot more in-door that I would go green...

Can you change-out the fiber optic stick without having to replace the entire front metal sight?

Nice looking sight, I don't have the intestinal fortitude to try that myself, well done
I would rather live my life as if there is a God,
And die to find out there isn't, than live my life
As if there isn't, and die to find out there is.
God Bless

You don't need Intestinal Fortitude, just a sharp knife and a small flame.

Oh no, that's a new front sight. It took a little file work and a lot of patience. The fiber optic is easy. The sight itself took some work.

Well....1200+/- rds of Winchester Ranger NATO down range this weekend and the sights stayed on, must have done something right.
I am really digging the fiber-optic front, even in a point shooting class I think the fiber optic paid off as a big glowing indicator withing my field of vision of where my muzzle was...
