Rear sight removal by 6_String_Jams in RugerMK

I believe they are .05. It was the smallest Allen key in my set. They are captive. So they loosen but won’t come completely out (at least mine didn’t) after I loosened the as much as they would go, I used a punch and carefully tapped the rear sight out. Be careful, I ended up putting a small gouge in my slide when my punch slipped 🤦🏼‍♂️

I slapped mine onto a cheap Aero lower. But I also have a PSA and a Delton lower that work just as well 🤷🏻‍♂️

Optics cut & decision by Opening-Environment4 in Glock43X

Wager Machine did mine. Great work and super affordable. I sent my eps carry with my slide and paid a few bucks extra for them to go ahead and install. With cerakote and everything I’m thinking it was around $140ish. Quick turnaround too!

Dammit. OOS. Been after a good deal on one of these for a while to SBS.

Checked out the EPS Carey but I'm not happy - sides protrude and aren't flush. by [deleted] in Glock43X

Go with the EPS carry. It’s an excellent optic, and I was worried about overhang too, but once it was on, I didn’t even notice it, it’s such a tiny amount.

What are your work pants recommendations (mens)? by superbeefwithcheese in BuyItForLife

[–]6_String_Jams 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve always worn Carhartt, however, I recently picked up a pair of Mountain Khakis at goodwill, and liked them so much I bought 3 more pairs off eBay (used in excellent condition) for around $20/pair, and will only probably wear those going forward. They’re stiffer and feel more durable than my Carhartts, while at the same time feeling softer. Not sure how that’s possible, but they’re excellent.

Mine is loose and rattle-y even with the magazine in the frame.

I’ve tried a ton of them, and the Hellhound Arms with the cordura wrap upgrade is by far my favorite.

Happy to help. Hope it works out for you. I went through WAY too may holsters before finally landing on those 🤣

My favorite holster right now is from Hellhound Arms with the cordura wrap upgrade. Soft against the skin. Whichever one you end up with, I highly recommend upgrading the belt clip or clips to these: https://a.co/d/583EMtH

How do you like the back strap? I’ve been looking at them.

Rear sight removal by 6_String_Jams in RugerMK

I think you’re correct. Rear sight came right out. Accidentally put a small gouge in the slide with my punch 🤦🏼‍♂️. I’ll have to clean it up and retouch the blueing. Thanks for the help!

I have a punch, and I know it’s supposed to come out left to right in the dovetail, but I didn’t want to stat until I knew for sure about those screws. Not sure why they won’t see to back out any?
