Replacement front and back sights for M&P 22

It's funny the front sight went on no problem. The rear sight is 2/3 on and I can't get it any more for fear of damaging the slide. I guess I visit the gunsmith on Monday.

I think they have to be pushed in a certain way. From right to left for example. Or vise versa.
You probably know that, but just putting it out there in case. Also, I think I saw, or read, somewhere that a guy used lube of some kind to help the process.

Thanks for the tip

I hope you don't think I was condescending. Just trying to help a fellow Nut out.

No not at all. This has me in the pooh at the moment.

Were you able to get the sights on? Gunsmith or DIY? Curious how it worked out.
