How did you reverse?

[OLD-skool454#3]

I popped them out with a very, very thin punch. They have a head like carriage bolts and little chips will break off in the process. I then took one green up front and tapped it into the front (probably should have used a thin coat of some kind of glue). For the rear I took the red front and very carefully sliced it in half with an exacto knife. With the exacto I tapered one end of each half and then tapped each one back onto the rear sight. Careful when you cut the red one, hold ine end down with your finger keeping a close eye on the other half because it will fly and you could lose it. Could also check with Derya see if they offer the tubes by themselves?

If Derya do sell them, they are not listed in the 10 pages of pistol parts on their website. The complete rear and front sights are just $9.99 a piece though.
I know there are plenty of other suppliers for fiber optic tubes, I ordered the black and white set from Dawson, should be here next week.

I didn't think about checking other manufacturers, that's a good idea.

Capy, does Dawson's sell just the inserts or the entire sight?

Dawson sells tons of other brand sights but nothing will fit on the Derya DY9 so far. But you can replace the inserts. https://dawsonprecision.com/fiber-op...son-precision/
I am going to try white up front and blacking out the two rears as that's closest to my TruGlos I have on most of my other pistols.

So what's the correct diameter?

I was looking at tritium vials in 1.5 x 6 mm in both red and green may need some shrink tube to keep em in. The hi viz inserts I reversed measured something like 1.90/1.91mm x 10.1mm.
