I just received my Trijicon sights from shopruger.com. If you are not handy with tools, you need to send these out to get them installed. I had to do a lot of filing and sanding and trial fits. They don't slip right in like the originals slip right out. That's a good thing since I'm not worried about them moving at all. Took me about 2 hours but it turned out great. Going to go to the range this week, will check back after I've killed some targets.

Those night sights look great and evidently you did a excellent job of installing them. I too own a LC9s and considered doing the same thing. However, I thought things over and ended up installing a Crimson trace LG-412 laser sight and now have, in my opinion, the best of two worlds. It's just possible that a laser sight pointed at someone's chest may prevent the need to fire a shot in an altercation. My comments about your setup was meant as a compliment and not a put down, since that's why we have both vanilla and chocolate in our society.

Looks great! Is the front sight hard to put on? I think it's pinned in place...is that correct? I'd like to order a pair for mine.

Neither sight slipped right in, it took me about 2 hours of filing, sanding and stoning. The front sight is pinned with a 1/16th roll pin; there's a through hole in the slide.

Had my local dealer put them on mine this past Friday. Took him about 20 minutes.

Nice. I have been toying with the idea of replacing the williams firesites with either these or TFO's

As I asked of Sarge above, did the impact point change any with the new sights?
Mine shoots low and am looking for something to get a higher impact point.

I put night sights on two LC9's, the wife's and mine. I used the discount you get when you register the pistol so the cost was about 120.00 with delivery.

Not on mine. It shoots to POA.
