Billmanweh Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I have a couple of sets of Heinie Slant Pros that I would like to widen the rear notches from .125" to .150". Any suggestions of someone I could contact that might do a job this small, but do it right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Cheely Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I did it myself with a small file. Give it a try, it's not very hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwmiket Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 If you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, call Caylor Custom Guns in Anna (outside McKinney) and he can hook you up, might be able to go and have done while waiting. Call and ask, can't hurt. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Front Man Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 (edited) IIRC my builder would narrow the front site on a mill versus opening the notch. I wouldn't bet on what I remember though. FM Edited March 14, 2006 by Front Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driver8M3 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 IIRC my builder would narrow the front site on a mill versus opening the notch.I wouldn't bet on what I remember though. FM i have a set of race cut heinies from custom glock racing. they were ok...but what i like better (a lot better) is a regular rear with a thinned front. my current dawson front is .08 (i think the rear is .120), and i probably should have gone a bit thinner.if you still would rather have an opened rear sight, i'll sell you mine.

Flexmoney Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Just like the dot size on a c-more, the width of the front size can give you different things. A relatively fat front sight is easy to find and pick up. But, it covers up more target at distance. There is some give and take. Either way, those "light bars" each need to be the proper size to allow good/quick alignment. (Usually this means a thin front or wide rear, or some combo of both) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
