Mike's Review of Meprolight Sights for Ruger Pistol Models
At first I was worried that I would receive the wrong sight, because there is another site for a Ruger pistol that is identical except for thickness. I received the correct sight, and proceeded to prepare my slide for its installation. Knock out the two pins with a 16th inch punch that hold the old sight in. I chose to use two brand new pins. This next comment of mine may sound ridiculous, but it works fantastic! You take the new site, and superglue it in place so that it cannot move. Then you take 1/ 16th inch drillbit and place it in a pin vice, And start the drilling through the new site. As you may have figured out by now the new site comes un-drilled. Once you have started a nice divot in the new site for both holes, then you do the same thing on the other side for both holes. You now have two nice divots on each side of the site. You then place the drill bit in a hand drill, preferably variable speed, and proceed to drill a couple seconds in each hole on one side then do the other side the same way, and after a few seconds the holes will meet and be perfectly aligned with each other. Then you just knock in the new pins with your 16th inch punch and you're done! Very simple, but you need to be patient and not succumb to the temptation of just drilling it straight through without making those divots first.
