if u already have them , then try this fella, he is fast, he is super and he is reasonable\\

Accurate-Iron.com. tel lhim bernie sent u. Most all gander mountain stores are suppsoed to have some type of smitty, u might try there if there are any close by..

if u don't have the sites yourself, then indeed order them from kahr and just send in the slide which can be mailed regualr mail and pay them to do it. Kahr sights are a reall bugger to get off, even with a good sight pusher.

The only thing I dont' understand about sending them to Kahr for installation is why they charge $25 for shipping???

The sights are reasonable $59 and $40 to install which is fine just don't like the high shipping cahrge???

they think you are sending them the entere gun which then willcost more to ship back due to it being a complete firearm. You could call and ask them about it to see what they say. $25 is to high for just the slide part, I still would let kahr do it un less u have the sights already..

It's gonna cost you at least $25 for a smith to put them on.

Kahr sights are in very tight. I had all the tools so I installed them myself, got lucky and didn't mar up the gun.

Marring up the gun is one hazard - another is the fact that tritium sights can be somewhat fragile.

You may spend more money and time trying to recover from unintended consequences than to simply send the slide off to Kahr in the first place.

FWIW. YMMV.

Border Bandit, although it may cost a little more, I'd be sending it to Kahr, where they have the correct jig to do the job properly. I do think you'll be happy with the final result. Those are the sights I have and I really like them. You want to take advantage of every little edge you can get for the intended purpose of these guns. JMHO

Kahrdog, I think you are right, sights on your daily CCW is no place to cut corners to try and save a few bucks!!
