Trijicon Night Sight Installation
The Trijicon night sights are recommended to be installed by a gunsmith with appropriate tools such as a sight pusher. These tools gently remove sights from their dovetails and install the new press-fit sights with ease without marring the finish or breaking the radioactive vials of tritium. That being said, installation can certainly be done by the home tinkerer with the judicious use of a nylon, brass, or wooden drift and a hammer. Keep in mind that dovetails and sights are not always exactly the same. Some dovetails vary by a few thousandths of an inch and the Trijicon night sights may or may not require a swipe or two of a stone. Be careful. Metal is easily removed but impossible to put back. I've installed scores of sights and haven't broken one yet. Bring your tools to the range for final sight in.
