A friend of mine had the same site installed at Euless gun. I think he said they charge right at a $100 and sighted the laser also.

If you don't have a sight removal tool you may not be able to change out to the new sight. Mine would not move in the dovetail with just a hammer and punch. Bought a sight remover and it still took 2 hours of tap and turn on the sight tool to get the original sight out. Installing the laserlyte rl was a piece of cake after that.
I chose to align the laser along the edge of the slide and impact point at 15 yds, this resulted in the impact point of the bullet being slightly left of the laser. This alignment will be good for windage at any distance and elevation is all you have to adjust for in aiming. Works for me and I really like it on the XD-40SC. Put a drop of nail polish on the battery cap threads to keep it from backing out.
