In my Sights.

So I took delivery of a nice set of Warren Tactical / Dave Sevigny sights with the Fiber Optic front blade, and I installed them all by my self.

I tried removing the old junky sights without a vice, instead I used a C-clamp to hold the slide on a table, but it felt really ghetto, and while I removed the sights, I knew I couldn't install the new ones with out access to a vice of some kind. I also discovered that you have to file down part of the dove tail connector on the sight itself to actually get it to fit, so while I went out to get some files before trying to figure out where I was going to find a vise that I could use for a while I stumbled upon something great down at Home Depot. It's a clamp on vise. I don't have a place where I can install a vise and keep it there, so the clamp on version is perfect for me, I put it on the side of my desk put a shop rag around the slide to make sure I didn't mar the finish and proceded to butcher the bottom of the sight until it was just right.

Found some nice videos on the internet showing how to instal a sight, not the Warren/Sevigny sight specifically but close enough.

This one is nice and from the guy who makes the XS sights

This one is more hillbilly, dosen't mention a lot of things and makes it seem as if instalation is more simple then it really was. Extra bonus: And from the guy who thinks it's ok to have people down range while shoting at targets less than a foot from their head.

Now I am waiting for the rest of my bits and baubles to arrive and instal them. I ordered the mags from Dallas Shooting Supplies and the service was so kick ass, I got an e-mail from the owner about 10 min after I ordered thanking me for my order and in general being a nice guy. I don't know what he was doing up at 5:30 AM, I know that I was just starting to get ready for bed. I am also trying to locate a camera so I can take some pictures of the process of installing stuff and whatnot.
