Thread: Trijicon Night Sights

    Don't know if it helps you, but my Dawson front tritium is tight as heck on my CM9 after a few hundred rounds including some 124gr+P Gold Dots. It's staked on and comes with the staking tool.

    Checked my slide and it has a well machined bevel where the screw will set so hopefully no further mods (to the gun) will be needed. I hear ya about the $$ Jocko I just get cheap this time of year :-). The Dawson sight seems to be a more secure setup, thanks APS. I think a case trimmer can clean up any radius on the sight posts before installing which might be better than modifying the slide, rather bugger a sight than a slide LOL.

    Do you use a press for the rear sight, or do you use a punch like the old days?
    Thanks!
    I've removed them using both methods, but I use a pusher/press exclusively for installing night sights.

    Any recommendations for a reasonably priced tool ( less than the price of sights) that will work for limited use?

    I looked online and the pushers can get pricey.

    Thanks for the link. I just ordered one. Doing my first set without this tool was challenging.
    I've lost my memory, and I can't remember where I put it.

    I have a P500 clone that has worked well enough for me, but it takes some care to set up.

    I also have the pusher that MEJETSKI2000 linked to, but have not used it. It seems pretty well made, but I want to figure out a way to add a non marring face to the part that pushes the sight.

    I also have an older version of this (but, again, I have not yet put it to use): http://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?t=379574
    Here's a link to how this pusher was developed (his concept version of it doesn't require much work to make; you'd need the metal, a bolt, saw, drill, drill bit, tap, and vise): http://smith-wessonforum.com/lounge/...sher-tool.html

    BTW, for a size comparison, here's a photo with the three tools in it:
