Looking for a gunsmith or gun store in northern Atlanta that y'all would recommend to install night sights on two of my glocks? I already have the sights. Thanks!

400 Jewelry and Loan did seven of mine.  Not one got scratched.  Michael does the best job there in my opinion and he is a perfectionist to get them lined up, locktited, etc.  Not sure what they charge as they install them for free when you buy them there.

Also, Glock in Smyrna does it too.

I bought a sight tool on ebay for about $50 and it was pretty easy if you take your time and protect the metal with pads....

Inflations a bitch...60 now but still well worth it.

I'm going to be in the Alpharetta area this weekend and would be happy to install them for you, no charge.  I use the Ed Brown front sight tool and the MGW Glock sight pusher.  e-mail me your contact info, if I can help and if Alpharetta is convenient.

If you get over to Athens I'll do it for free. Can meet you at Clyde Armory. I have the proper tools. It's a bit far but an option.

if nothing else...a good vise, brass punch, and good hammer works great also

Yes, brass or delrin.  The sight pusher tool I wanted was $80+.  I finally just decided to give it a go myself.  It sure is easy, but don't use a steel punch like I did the first time.  It worked, I just had to be a little careful.  Also, a file is your friend.  I had to take a good amount of material off two sets of warren tacticals before they would go in.  Big hammer wasn't working

I'm in Atlanta for the weekend, but, hearing nothing from the OP, didn't bring my tools.

If you are near Smyrna why not let Glock do it ?

Thank you everyone for the replies. I didnt realize that there were so many options around. The sights should arrive sometime next week.

Got your e-mail.  Tried to respond, using both ARFCOM and my e-mail service, but both bounced.  I' m in the Atlanta/Alpharetta area just about every-other-weekend and would be happy to help you with Glocks or ARs.  Just let me know if I can help in the future, and I'll bring the appropriate tools.

Will all these sight pushers work on extra high sights?  The regular sign brand one won't....

Come on by the shop and I'll press them in for free

I think mine will work with nearly anything you just have to shim the slide and protect it....You are welcome to borrow it.
