Front sight on my SA .45 is loose. Bomar rear sights ,the front looks riveted (I did not see any allen slots in it) but is slightly loose. I bought it used several months ago and I have run 500 roubds through it, very smooth shooter. Maybe just needs a checkup.

McBrides on 2915 San Gabriel
(30th at North Lamar)
Austin, TX 78705
The Gun Store - 200 Buttercup Creek Blvd #114, Cedar Park, Texas 78613.
McBrides actually has a gun smith, but the guy at the gun store will probably be able to help you also.

I don't think The Gun Store in Cedar Park offers any gun smith services. Bu, I could be wrong. Can't go wrong with McBride's.

He did some trigger work on my "Classic" HiPower years ago after McBrides about ruined it - Fantastic!

7GenTex : Springfield Armory 1911A1
I'm going to take it to Hank Flemming, Alan Tillman works there too. My front sight is double staked and tenable.
Good Choice

I took my Sig 229 to him so he could put on night sites. he did a great job at a great price and was real fast too.

I have a S&W 642 DAO revolver that had a trigger pull that was so gritty and rough I couldn't hold the gun on target. Alan Tillman did a trigger job on it and now its as smooth as warm butter. I would not hesitate to use him again.
