Can a noob like me do it, or should it be brought to a smith to be done? Can anyone recommend good smiths in the Clinton / Hackettstown, or even Phillipsburg / Easton PA areas?

 

Thanks!

I'm in the same boat as you. Got a fixed front sight on my 92FS and can't do anything with it. I researched Trij's in the past. You have to mail in the slide for them to install it. Best have the mfg do it for you. I don't think it was that expensive either, but you'll need to call then to double check. I'm not sure if that still do that service anymore.

 

Now for the DIY in you, you can probably do it yourself if you're careful. I wouldn't risk it. Could be a few dollars saved or couple hundred dollars of nightmare.
