Trijicon HD Night Sight Question (Glock)

[unclerandy]

When replacing the front sight do I use the factory screw or the one that comes in the Trijicon sight?

[NYT]

i always use the one that comes with it.

[ocabj]

The one that comes with it. The factory screw is way too long to fit your Trijicon front sight, anyway.

[eviioiive]

It comes with one for a reason

Keep an eye on the tightness for a while, one of the students in my Thunder Ranch class launched his front sight, hard to find in pea gravel.

You'll need a 3/16" nut driver, Ameriglo makes a decent one:

Most any decent hobby store that carries tools for R/C cars is likely to have the nut driver, as well.

here is a much better tool imo.

Always use the supplied screw by trijicon, the factory one will ruin/strip your front sight threads.

Thanks for the replies. I assumed using the supplied screw was the correct way but also thought it could have been there to protect the threads.
