For self install you MUST have: -Brass hammer and punches -2000+ grit sandpaper or Arkansas stones -Loctite 609 or equivalent It helps to finish the install at a range or somewhere you can test fire the sight alignment.

I had questions whether these sights, made for the "Operator" 5" would fit my Loaded 5" and they did! The gunsmith had to trim the front sight .0015" but they look great, nice and bright in the dark. Great value!
