fenwick Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Just got new Dawson precision front sights in the mail to replace the ones on my new 617 and 929. I dont have a drill press anymore and really dont wish to buy equipt. to drill 2 holes in these sights. Can someone recomend a good smith here in central Iowa to install these sights. Sheels in west des moines is 10 weeks out and Joel has closed his shop in Nevada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadShot Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Try giving Rick McDowell a call at competition specialties down in Osceola. We have a USPSA match down there Sunday, come on down and shoot... Skip Edited February 27, 2016 by BadShot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete627 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 OK ... it might be too early for me ... but ... aren't 929s and new 617s using "classic/dx" style sights?? If so ... they just pop out ... push to the rear and lift out ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's spelled Smith and Lesson I could be wrong.. Something about buying a thousand dollar PC gun and then spend another 800.00 to get it right.

PatJones Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 The DX sights are prone to getting pulled off if you catch them coming out of a port. The pinned sight is a desirable feature on a USPSA Revo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
