Glock sight installation prices ?

[lil_jackal]

Is there any place around San Gabriel valley that would do it ? And how much is a decent price for the installation ? I've been looking everywhere same with calling but no luck.

It would probably be cheaper just to do it yourself. Borrow the pusher above or just use a hammer and punch. Glock sights are probably the easiest handgun sights I have ever switched out. You will need a front sight tool if your upgraded sights don't come with one. Just don't over tighten the front sight and apply a bit of red loctite to the threads. On the rear, put some of the loctite in the channel and slide/tap the sight in.

Youtube is a great resource for this, and there are plenty of good videos available for you to learn.

Just go slow and take your time. Make sure you fully review your resources before going into it. The factory sights are plastic and will come off easier than you think. A little bit of cardboard or rubber can insulate your new sights from your tools if you are tapping them in. In my experience, the steel of the slide is much harder than the (aluminum?) sights. You really don't pose much risk of hurting your gun.

What sights did you go with?

I went with trijicon , I might just do it right now . Being impatient sucks

Aftermarket sights are steel.

Unfortunately the most popular Glock sights are factory night sights, Trijicon 3 dot sights, XS Big Dots and Truglo TFOs. I'll wager on one of those.

Good to know. With my XD and Sig 1911, in both instances the XS sight was softer than the slide. The rear on my Glock slid in without a tool and anchored with the set screws.

You made a good choice. Review the videos and make sure you know what you are getting in to. If at any point you don't feel comfortable, just stop.

Send your "slide" only back to the Glock mothership in Smyrna, GA via USPS priority. They will install steel sights for $20 plus tax or Glock (Meprolight) night sights for $57 plus tax (both prices include the actual new sights, labor, and return shipping). They will not install aftermarket sights you send in the the gun. I've done it twice with no issues. Takes about a week and a half turn around time. If interested, take a look at the glock warranty page on their website. If it's an older Glock they will inspect/replace parts on the slide for free.

Okay, good deal on getting the inspection (though some have mentioned that aftermarket parts that they had installed were replaced), but seriously? A week and a half, plus $20 plus shipping for something that any local competent gunsmith can do in 5 minutes for $20-$40?

Changing sights on a Glock is not rocket science, it just takes the proper tool. Yes, I took my Shield to OC Gunsmith because of the red loctite on the rear sight and my pusher would not work for the front.

[Cokebottle]

I use blue loctite. Red is too strong if you wish to remove them at some point.

Ditto.
See it all the time on Youtube videos and I always think "He's going to be sorry!"

[gtarifa74]

Out here I've got them done for $20, some GunShop's will install for free if You buy the sights from them
