Confirmed that I got the TruGlo sights on the Glock correctly.
Confirmed that the M&P 9 shot.
The little white plastic dealie in the front sight came out, leaving me with a two-dot sight...
TruGlo to the rescue!
Installation in the Glock was easier. I borrowed Marv's sight tool for the rear and killed my brass punch on the front. I finished the front with a steel punch, and because I have a deft hand no damage is evident.
Now Marv and I have near identical pistols. His is newer so it's got the tighter rifling; plus he's got the Apex duty kit in his.
I tested mine with Hornady 135gr Critical Duty and 115gr Critical Defense. As could be expected from the slow twist rate, the Critical Duty didn't group as well, but it grouped well enough that I wouldn't feel defenseless with a magazine full; it's just the 115gr grouped much better.
Harvey's pistol will soon have TruGlo sights as well, Marv's Christmas present to her. SHHHHHH! Don't tell her.
I don't think she reads the blog...
Related to Harvey's gun, the sear block housing I bought from Midway as insurance against mine being an early small sear spring gun... It wouldn't fit in my gun since mine is after the change-over. However, it should work in her gun, allowing us to self-install an Apex kit in her gun, should she want one.
I am on the fence with the Apex kit for me. I shoot well enough without it; but I like the positive reset Marv has.
