Help with Shield Sight install (Nor Cal)

[Skip_Dog]

I just bought a set of 9mm S&W Shield sights and looking for a pro to do the install. I work in the Bay Area (Hayward) and live in the Valley (Lodi). Looking for a gun smith/store or knowledgeable person with the right tools to do this job. Willing to pay cash/beer/food/barter or what ever it takes.

Any help or recommendations welcomed. I have e-mailed a few LGS with no luck.

Thanks in advance.

SD, I have purchased sites from Integrity Arms in Lodi & John has always installed them for me. You could ask there.

I work in Oakland and used my sight Pusher to install mine. I installed the yellow Trijicon night sights and used the Utg front/back sight tool.
I learned in the process that the old ones are loc-tight'd in place, and they need to be heated with a soldering iron for a minute to soften the hold. It would be easier to have a gunsmith install them, but I wanted to do it myself.
Glocks are really easy, shield was a *****.
If you end up in a jam and need a front sight Pusher, or a rear one, let me know. I have both the rear and front/rear combo.

Thank you all for the info.

If you're going to remove the rear sight (which I hear can be very difficult without the right tools), you might want to look into installing Apex DCAEK at the same time, since you have to remove the rear sight in order to swap out the striker block.

Tracy Rifle did that for me way back, since I bought the pistol from them and the stock trigger was pretty horrible (8+ lbs and mushy).

How did it come out? I might add this.

Nice consistent 5lb trigger pull. The Shield has been my downstairs grab and go gun for several years now. Apex is solid.
