When removing or installing the rear sight, does it require or do you guys use a dovetail cover tool to hold the striker plunger and spring in place?

I use the rear sight tool to move the sight most of the way out, allowing part of the plunger to show. Then slide the cover tool in to keep the parts from flying out. When you put it back together reverse the procedure, use the tool to get the plunger and spring back in place. Slide the rear sight in by hand until it holds the spring and plunger in place then use the rear sight tool to push it home.

Correct you will need the riser for 1/3 co witness. If you are shooting with both eyes open as you should even without the riser and absolute co witness you really don't see the front sight. My rear sight is fold down so that isn't an issue.

The rear sight should fit as I believe the two set screws line up. It is the front sights I am not sure of, it depends on the size of the dove tail as well as the height of the sight needed. You ma have to do some filing.

I had absolutely no problem removing the nut off the front sight of my Glock, and also adequately torqued it back down when installing mepros. I suppose it would depend on your application, but it was perfect for my situation.

The dovetail is the same but the slide length to the rear is not, some M&P; sights might extend over the end. Also be aware that the Shield sights are VERY tight, if you intend to do the install yourself, have a proper vice and non-marring or brass taps.

A gunsmith will need to install it for you. As far as how to do it, it is fairly simple.Remove the front bead from the barrel and epoxy on the front sight. Then you need to drill and tap the reciever for the rear sight. If you don't have a gunsmith do it you could put on the sight at an angle or improperly. They are trained in how to do it properly. My gunsmith charged $75 and I was able to pick it up same day.

I tried briefly to remove the oem rear sight on my SR9C but decided the fit was too tight for the brass punch and hammer method. I took it to a local gunsmith who had the correct sight press. It took him only a few minutes to press out the old and in with the new. $10.00 well spent not to mark up my SR9C slide.

You need to knock the stock rear sight out with a punch (a brass one, preferably) and a hammer. Loosen the set screw on the sight, if your gun has one, then the sight out from right to left. It'll take some solid blows from the hammer and punch to knock it out. The Burris mount installs easily.

Yes it does. I actually just removed the pin that holds the sight on and replaced the sight. Made it much easier to install by not removing the base. The front sight is a pain to remove. I love the sights though. Huge upgrade. I would suggest having a gunsmith install.

Yes it does come with instructions on how to remove the original rear sight. Pain in the butt, but there are instructions.. There are some good videos on youtube that illustrate how to do it which I found much more helpful.

First: field strip the gun.Second: remove front sight bolt in side of slide and pull stock sight out.Third: push in new sight with a LITTLE red lock tight in the hole.Fourth: carefully place bolt in(May need front sight tool) I used a little medical tweezers and snug it up. Do not over tighten it and be certain that the sight is straight before final tighten.If you have any further questions; YouTube has a lot of good videos that you can watch the go in to better depth than I. - thanks

I would suggest when you knock the pin out of the rear sight check it good because i was told there are some that are solderes in. You still have to be careful once you knock out pin there is aheavy piece of spring steel underneath because nothing is made light on this rifleI would suggest that you use epoxy or liquid steel when you set it in then put the screws in it will loosen up on you after about 25 shots or so it is acheap set up and you get what you pay for.

It replaces the original sight rail for the rear sight. There are two hex, or torx screws that hold on the old rail removing them allows you to switch the rails. The sight rail is part of the receiver and not the barrel I do not think the barrel configuration will make any difference. Hope this helps.

Front sight is held in with a small screw with very thin head that wil bend or break off if not removed carefully. The rear sight pushes out to the right looking from the rear of the slide. It must go back right to left. Should be done with a sight tool. It is recomended to have your local gunsmith do it for you.Rickwww.drarmement.com

It has both a replacement stock w/recoil pad attached and a forend grip. You still need to buy an aftermarket action slide tube AND nut in order to install the Hogue forend. Some people require that but some don't, if the metal side bars on your factory forend are attached permanently, then it's one piece, and you need the tube/nut.

My gunsmith had no problem installing these without making adjustments. He had more trouble removing the stock sights!!!

Drift out the rear sight. If there are tapped holes, then yes. If not, you will need to have it drilled and tapped.
