When sending your slide to Heinie or Novaks for sight installation do you strip it down or send the whole slide assy?

To answer your question, stripped slide is fine (remove barrel and bushing).

If you are mechanically inclined whatsoever and have access to a vice, small hammer, and a file set, I would recommend doing it yourself.   It is very easy, and as long as you take your time you will not have any problems.  There are several good tutorials on YouTube.

I get my Novak cut sights from Dawson Precision, and they include an aluminum punch and Loctite in the package.

Like he said. Just the slide.  The diy is pretty easy if you have a vice.
