preten2bHelp with replacing P226 night sights
I have a 226 from 1995 which is long overdue for a new set of night sights. Exeter made w/ k-kote, and only stamped with the number "8" on left side. My question to the brain trust is can we know from that era alone, whos sights these were? I'd like to send out for just the vials if that is possible.
With apologies, do not have pic hosting or would do that, but can email to someone if helpful.

Ronin101Sig used to have a service to replace any worn parts and place the night sights for 140 buck but I no longer see it on their website

12131Original NS for SIGs were Trijicon. Mepro is later. Email me the pics, if OP wants.

preten2bThank you all for replies. I figured someone would know. Sort of remembered that they were likely Trijicon but that was soooo long ago.
12131, email sent.

Still there for $120 (Sights only)
https://www.sigsauer.com/sig-s...ervices-and-upgradesMay as well send it in for the full service package for $150 as it includes night sights.

^^^ Full Service Package (FSP) does not include night sights = $90 plus shipping
SIG Service Package (SSP) is FSP + night sights = $150 plus shipping

preten2bUpdate for those watching. Yes Trijicon will replace vials on most of their sights, these OE are @ $19 a vial, which is $57 for set of 3 sights. Get an RA number and get slide or bare sights to them. They'll send it back! I'll be back in business soon, yay!

Rick LeeI have had Trijicon relamp several sets of night sights. They once sent me someone else's sights. There was no way to ID whose they were. When I called to explain, they just mailed me a whole new set for my gun and I gave away the others. They didn't want them back.
