I'm sure this info is buried in some other threads, but I'm hopeless at searches and I'm not finding the specific info I'm looking for.
I am hoping to buy a SR9 very soon. It will be a range/casual competition gun, I have no intention to carry it. Besides Talon grips, I am seriously considering the Williams Fiber Optic Firesights on shopruger.
Two questions.
1) I have never installed sights before. Are these sights something someone mechanically challenged with no experience messing with sights can install themselves or will I need a gunsmith?
2) I hear the front sight is quite high. I have also heard that fiber optics can be a bit fragile compared to normal sights. Therefore, I assume it's important to get a holster with plenty of clearance for the front sight. I don't need anything worthy of a race gun, just something suitable for some casual IDPA type shooting. Any suggestions?
