Gunsmith Suggestions

Front sight was cake. Rear took a little massaging and I didn't think I was ever going to get that sucker centered, but all in all not bad. Less than an hour.

Plus the feeling of doing it yourself, nothing like it.

I don't want to derail this thread about his work but seriously Dustin? How did you notice his toes when we were all looking at the gun parts? Why did you notice them? He's a dude. Dude feet shouldn't matter ugly or not. I'm a little concerned for you. Does your wife know about your dude foot fetish?

LMAO. I saw the gun parts to. But how the Hell could you miss them? Sorry @Kempire , don't mean to turn the focus. Hope you are laughing WITH US as much as we are.

My apologies to Kempire. Dustin isn't usually this forward. And I'm NOT laughing Dustin. I'm going to say some prayers. . . .for your wife.

Sorry Kempire. Back to your thread.

No worries fellas. Different strokes for different folks I suppose. Funny thing is the camera really did some optical illusion and made them way worse than what they are. I'd post a pic of what they really look like but I don't want to put anyone over the edge.

LMAO

Thanks for taking it in stride Kempire. I'm intrigued by your thread. Might have to try this for a couple of mine.

Those looks like factory Glock sites, no?

 

[Kempire]

Yeah, not a big fan of what they come with. They are plastic and the rear is just a little too noisy for my taste with the white outline.

Nice work! I was never a fan of white sights either. They seem hard to find with a bright background (lights at night).

Edit: not sure how to word that but that is misleading. Sights are fine but take away from the target at night. If that makes sense?

 

[Kempire]

I'm following you. I like a contrasting color from the target that jumps out, like a neon orange, green, red (although I tend to lean towared orange or red because green is harder for me to see when shooting outside with all the trees and plants).

On the factory sights it seems like for me the front sight is harder to aquire fast with all the white on the rear slide. Might just be how my eyes work, but it just kind of gets lost.

This is my first time using those Ameriglo sights and I'm finding that I really like how the front sight is a square rather than a circle/dot. Just seems more intuitive and faster to put a box in a box (the cutout in the rear sight).
