Agent_Smith 1 Posted September 24, 2009 I'm looking for a gunsmith to install a Dawson-Heinie sight set on my Glock 34. Can anyone recommend someone near Jersey City? Would BulletHole or Caso's be good for this kind of work? They're closest. GS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col. Mortimer 11 Posted September 24, 2009 I just replaced the factory sights with Dawson Precsion Sevigny Competition - Fiber Optic Mix sights. I had to file the base of the rear sight a lot to get the sight so that it was only sticking out about a quarter of an inch. I then pounded it in all the way with a small hammer and a 3/8" wooded dowe. The installation took about half an hour. One thing to remember, the rear sight notch is narrowest in the middle. Once the sight gets past that point, you have file the bottom of the base enough. The factory sight really sux. I pushed it out with a wooded dowl and just pressed with my hand. It has to get loose and screw up your point of aim. If you want a gunsmith, try Marco at Paterson Gunsmithing on Main Street. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

67gtonut 847 Posted October 27, 2009 Want to bump this up... So does anyone know of a local gunsmith to change sights? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJ609 22 Posted October 30, 2009 Want to bump this up... So does anyone know of a local gunsmith to change sights? I second this. I really don't want to send my XD slide back to Springfield only to have them install sights I am not thrilled with. I want some TruGlo TFO's on that beast!

lunker 274 Posted October 30, 2009 When I bought my Glock 34 at Lawmen's Supply in Paterson, they installed my night sights for free with my purchase. You might give them a call. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LEO only at Lawmen in Paterson... I think that may only be for gun purchases. I had my GSSF certificate for a Glock discount and they honored it, and the closest I come to being a cop is my haircut.

mikeyboyeee 66 Posted November 4, 2009 I would imagine you couldn't be considered a gunsmith if you couldn't install sights. bring it to any gunsmith you are comfortable with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frank einstein 0 Posted November 30, 2009 Marco at Paterson Gunsmithing did my Novak rear sight for my Beretta 92fs, no complaints, reasonably priced, gave me the target used to zero it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Agent_Smith 1 Posted December 12, 2009 In the end, I bought a sight pusher and installed them myself. It was pretty easy, but the sight pusher is expensive for what it is. I've had fun modifying my glock. Also did a drop in trigger and firing pin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BullzeyeNJ 104 Posted February 17, 2010 Marco at Paterson Gunsmithing did my Novak rear sight for my Beretta 92fs, no complaints, reasonably priced, gave me the target used to zero it. +1 for Marco. I have used him for years w/ confidence in his ability. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
