Any recommendations who might stock and install Fibre Optic sights in Vancouver and/or the Lower Mainland for Sig 226 and Kimber 1911? I could order from somewhere if neccesary but would prefer a good gunsmith install them.

I just installed Truglo f/o sights on my 226. I was advised to use only the proper sight pusher and to not use a hammer and punch to install them as the fiber optics may not take the impact of a hammer and punch if you got at all carried away...the gunsmiths in my area didnt have the proper pusher and said they would use the hammer & punch method. I was able to get a SIG sight pusher and did it myself with only minor fitting of the sights them selves.

Let me no how you make out!

Do you recall the height of the sights or the model # as there appear to be several variations. Have you found a lot of difference with the new F/O's?
Thanks,
Mike

Ive found the new sights to be awsum...works keeping me away alot right now so Ive only been to the range once with it but the improvment over the factory sights is incredible.:D

I can check for the model # for you but I ordered them from TSE they did offer to install them for me as well now that I think about it.

I belive they were #8 front & back

Thanks RT I'll give TSE a call. I'd like to do my Sig and my Kimber 1911. Someone said they liked the front F/O but the back two were a bit distracting. Have you found that also?
