Need a gun smith recommendation in the Houston area

Post by Katygunnut »

I need a reasonably priced gunsmith who does good work. Looking to install 3 sets of night sights on some Glocks I own. I think this should be pretty straight forward, but the lowest price I have been quoted is $48 per gun ($144 total). Does anyone have some good recommendations?

I'd be interested in this information as well.

If all you are doing is exchanging sights, then you can buy the tool for about that much. Probably sell it for close to your purchase price. Glock sight installs are certainly not rocket science.

I'm not the most mechanically inclined guy out there (I have a desk job for a reason). Plus self-installation voids the warranty for the sights.

Ed Vandenberg Customs put a set of Warren Tacticals on my wife's M & P for $30.00. We purchased the sights online and brought them to him. He did a GREAT job. His work is by appointment only.

I have been looking at night sights for my Glock. I called the Arms Room in League City and they said if I brought the sights in with the gun, it was $35.00 to install. If I bought the sights from them, they would install them for free.

Thanks to all for the suggestions.

I contaced Dale at Grip Reductions.com and will probably go with him.

Now I just need to get the sights that are being sent.
