$75 to put sights on a Glock...

[4Defense]

OP, if you're close by I can change out the sights for you . No charge .

BTW, don't feel bad about the 75 bucks.

Last week I got a quote for $ 60 to just drill a hole for the front sight of a CZ P01 . Just drill a freaking hole and I do the rest.

I know and I have thought about that I just thought it would be like $10-15 and then if I needed them adjusted a little I could tap on it with a plastic dowel at the range. I know the Glock Store in San Diego does it for free(at least they do it for free if you go to their booth at a gun show regardless of where you bought the sites).

Why would you modify the $250 slide, making it now a non-standard sized dovetail instead of filing the $50 site? I've installed hundreds of sites on Glocks, the slide dovetail is never the problem.

I said "sight base dovetail" not "slide dovetail".
Perhaps I was not clear enough?
Of course I modified the sight, the cheaper and easier to replace part.

Buy your own tool.. $45.00

Nothing against MWG because I had some work done by them when I first started shooting, but they charge more than anyone else I know.

Had I known back then what I know now, I never would've gone to them. Live and learn.

Btw, you can probably buy the equipment needed to do the work yourself and it'll probably cost less than $75.

Yes, wasn't clear. Your correct, always modify the cheaper part!

That's an asinine price. Say the shop charges $90/hr for gunsmithing then the max price should be $20-25 as it takes no longer than 15 minutes to do it(most likely $10)

As others have said be prepared for the worst and hope for an easy install. First time is usually the hardest and a learning lesson. Watch the videos and make a mental note of the problems that may or may not arise. Be prepared for them and life and Glock sight installs will be easier.
These days when either assembling an item or working on something I take more tools than necessary. Frustrations arise trying to find a tool that the wife put somewhere you'll never find it. Anyways you seem prepared, let us know how it goes. I may want to pay you to put sites on my kahr.
