If you got a good deal or great service from a shop or range and you want to brag about them, here's the place to do it. Likewise, if you are unhappy about someone's service or feel like you've been ripped off, we want to know that too!

LF gunsmith in NoVA to install night sights

Post by Mindflayer »

Recommended gunsmith in NoVA area to install night sights on an M&P 9C and two M&P Shields. Recommendations? I've seen some REALLY bad work, and don't want to have a slide that looks like it's been beaten with a crowbar.

Just make sure they are using a real sight pusher rather than a punch and all should be fine. For the cost of putting sights on two pistols (or less) you can get the tool and do it yourself.

Low cost option: http://www.sightpusher.com/
High end option: http://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools ... d8846.aspx

I can tell you the MGW is a good tool from personal experience. A bit pricey, but well worth it if you do a couple of pistols and/or plan on replacing the sights every 10 years (tritium).
