Good but.... - Trijicon Bright & Tough SP01 3 Dot Night Sights for Springfield XD Pistols

Trijicon makes great sights I've been running them for years and have installed a lot of them, mostly on Glocks. This is the first one I've installed on the Springfield XD. Springfield (in my experience) runs their sights very tight, even with the right tools they are a bear to remove. Oddly the Springfield rear sight was tough coming off but the Trijicon went on smooth. Just the opposite for the front. The Springfield sight came off easily but the first Trijicon broke when I tried to put it on (possibly lulled into a false sense of security from the ease of the rear sight, I clear ly pushed it too hard). Yes I was using a sight pusher. Two reasons, the front sight is small so inherently fragile, second the first Trijicon front sight was about 0.006" wider (across the dovetail) than the factory sight. I bought this replacement and it was still 0.004" larger than the factory sight. So I stoned it down by about 2-3 thou to get it to fit. Also the front sight has a taper, that's hard to notice, that requires a Left to Right installation, I missed that the first time and it's not in the instructions. I shouldn't have to work that hard to install the sight. I was really surprised Trijicon customer service didn't help out, it was my rough handling for sure, but I shouldn't have fit the sight.
