| Had Meps installed on my HK45 the other day and it still shot dead on but when I got home I realized the rear sight was bright and the front barely glows. Should I go straight to Meprolight or contact Kimber, which is where Midway gets them from? I ordered from Midway and they said I could try either Mep or Kimber. I wouldn't mind a dim rear and bright front, I'd prefer it actually but the other way around sucks. |

Likely whoever installed them cracked the Tritium vial and the gas is leaking out. I had this happen on a MMC front sight and the smith who milled my slide used a hammer and punch to put it in instead of a press. The front was dead in a week.
I sent my slide to MMC and they replaced the front sight and no more problems. I would suggest you send your front sight or complete slide if they allow that to Meprolight and let them replace it. If they don't do the install then make sure the smith does not slip with the punch this time or uses a press. Since Kimber owns Meprolight they may let you send it to them for replacement. First thing to do is get on the horn with Meprolight and take it from there. |
