How hard is it and do I need a ton of tools? Looked up a couple videos on youtube and seems the main thing

you need is a hammer and brass punch and a vice.

 

I want to install the Dawson Precision adjustable sights on my TLE RL II. If I send it to them it's $75 plus shiping

to install which is a little steep.

 

One final note, I have the Meprolight tritium nightsights on there which I hear can shatter if not done correctly.

 

Anyone do this as a semi-novice? Or you recommend I don't take chances and send in my slide?

we have the kimber tool to do it

Nice.. get a hold of Tony!!!

 

I did my front site in a vise kimber puts them in tight i do not recommend a novice to change kimber sights.

 

here is the thread when i replaced my front site.

I did my own on my compact stainless. I had no trouble, and that was the first gun I ever changed the sights on. If you're mechanically inclined, I say go for it.
