Return to “Who in DFW will install night sights on an XD?”
Sounds like Gun Masters in Plano. They use the same method, except they incorporate a grinder to get the job done.heliguy972 wrote:Don't go to bass pro. Had them install ghostring tritium sights on my XD45C and the didn't use a sight pusher, used the "Old" school dowel and hammer. The dowel / hammerslipped and marked the slide forever. They didn't charge me at all but they need a sight pusher or need to get rid of the old school gunsmiths...
The two sets of meps I just purchased are all just as bright as my Trijicons. I just ran and checked them when I read TAMS post. I bet TAM just received a defective sight. Sounds like it worked out well though. I would gladly take a set of Trijicons for the same price as a set of Meps.Carrots wrote:TAM, I have found Meps to be brighter than Trijicons and so I think that you just got a bad set. I have also found the Meps to be easier to use for daytime shooting as well. Of course being able to pick up the sights at night is important, but thus far I have found myself shooting a lot more during the day
Anyhow we are all different, so this is just a fyi.
You find that on the interweb? I have a handgun I wouldn't mind trying that stuff on.Vic303 wrote:Have decided to simply use some green V10 Glow Inc glow paint on the sights. It really does glow for a good 8hrs once exposed to bright light. Should be fine for daytime/nightstand usage. Heck of a lot cheaper too, and no voiding of any warranty...
I am more the fix it, move on and just not shop there kind of feller.AEA wrote:That's weird! Gunmaster is a Kimber Master Dealer.03Lightningrocks wrote:Careful about this guy.

They installed a set of night sights on a Colt Officers ACP for me once before. They cut the dove tail for the new front sight and all. Really good work. It was not a "while I waited job" though and after it was done I tested it at the Bullet trap and found it to be off a bit. Drove back to Gunmaster and told them and they made the required adjustment while I waited. I went back to the Bullet Trap and it was perfect.
No, I am not standing up for them or do I have anything to do with them, but I can't imagine anything happening like this on a Kimber. I am also not saying you are less than truthful, I am only saying that if this did occur, you should contact Kimber directly and complain and provide proof of what happened and you might be pleasantly surprised with the outcome.
I should have known I was headed for trouble when I ask him if he had a press for Kimber sights. Google up replacement of Kimber sights and you will see why his answer of I don't think I'll need them should have sent me running out the door. I don't know about the Kimber Dealer title but Kimber themselves will tell you they DON'T have authorized repair dealers. They want you to send the gun to them. The sight press for a Kimber is VERY expensive as it takes a lot of pressure to press in Kimber sights. He said he just tapped them in...LOL...he left off the part about "after he grind-ed some material off the sights and dove tail". Kimber does not authorize any dealer or gunsmith to attempt repair or adjustments to Kimber products, and non-factory adjustments or modifications will void the warranty.AEA wrote:I am only saying that if this did occur, you should contact Kimber directly and complain and provide proof of what happened and you might be pleasantly surprised with the outcome.
