Any one install the Mepros?
Advise, horror stories, any thing that you thing might be useful. Let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Never done Mepros, but done several other sets and they were super easy with a sight pusher. If you feel lazy (as I do sometimes), just buy at Glockmeister and they will install.

I have the tall mepros with adjustable rear sight on a glock 34. They are tall enough to see over my suppressor, and they seem to be about the same quality as trijicons.  They never gave me any problems, although the tritium is starting to get dim. It's been nine years, so I figure I got my money's worth

I've had two sets, and have nothing bad to say about them.  Headed to Glockmeister today to have some HDs put on.

I've had Meps put on every Glock I've owned, I just let Glockmiester do it.

Nothing wrong with the Mepros I've owned, but went with AmeriGlo on my last set and love them. The Operator's have a white circle around the front tritium vial and plain rears for fast easy pickup of the front in daylight, and you can get yellow front with green rears for fast alignment in the dark (I've always hated all-green dots). Glockmeister charged me $30-35 for install, if I remember correctly.

If you're not dead set on the Mepro's, look at the Heine Straight 8 night sights.  I know it's all personal preference but I've found that most people prefer them over the many other options out there.

I got mine done at GlockMeiste, if it's anything other then sights I would ask them to do it in front of you and take it in and out once.





They installed a backplate for me once that was too big. When I tried to take it out I couldn't, I had to end up pulling it out with pliers which marred the shit out of it. They refused to give me a refund after I told him to try to take it out in the store in front of me and he couldn't. They have also sent me home with the wrong size recoil springs before.

Damn.  Me and my sight pusher need to go into business  Although if you buy your sights there, the install is usually free.

It's free if you buy there, yes. But I had a discount code for the AmeriGlos, and I prefer the way the Operators are set up, so it was about even with their price after tax (if I'd bought from them) and the install, and I got what I wanted. If I was installing sights regularly, I'd buy a sight pusher for myself, too!

You really don't need a sight pusher if the sights are fitted to the slide properly.ETA..a delrin tipped aluminum punch like the ones Dawson sells work really well.

I've had some be a tad stubborn.  Sight pusher is mo' better if you are lazy like me and unwilling to mar your slide
