    I Need help/tips installing Glock Sights..

    My Ameriglo C.A.P Red/Orange Sights came in the mail today, the Package only came with the sights and Front Site Tool. Looks like they did not include a Nylon Punch?

    Before placing an order I contacted their Customer Service "Quick Response" and they told me that if I ordered from them, it will include both Front Sight Tool/Nylon Punch. I wanted to install these myself but looks like that won't be happening at the moment.

    Any Tips/Advice would be great.

    Thanks for your Help.

    I'm sure you can find a similar tool at the hardware store. I use a brass punch for all my sights.

        Be sure to put a small dab of Loctite or your thread locking compound of choice on the front site bolt threads or it may loosen up. Both of mine had loosened up at one time or another. since using Loctite, they're both secure.

          I'd pay & do it professionally, unless you have a sight pusher. Rear sights usually require filing, and since most rear sights are also friction locked, I wouldn't risk doing that kinda stuff myself.

            I already installed the front sight with blue loctite, I sprayed a little brake cleaner before installing etc.
