I decided to send my M9A1 slide off to Wilson Combat to have them drill the front sight for a fiber optic rod. (It’s my main IDPA gun.)

Overall I think they did a great job for a very reasonable price. ($50 but it comes to $64.45 total which includes return shipping.)

Turn around time is quoted at 3-4 weeks but mine only took just a bit over 2.

The results:

That looks good. $ well spent.

Very nice!

I had my compact done with this. It's really well done agreed.

Thanks for the information, been thinking about having this done to my 92G.

Josh Rowe at Allegheny Arms did something similar for a 92FS of mine. It was $75 total and took under two weeks. It has held up well. The gun wasn't new but was always a good shooter, so I sent it in. Now with the TJIAB installed, I shoot it as well as my LTT Elite.

Josh does great work. He did the same on a Centurion I had him convert to SAO.

I'm pretty much set to send my Centurion to Allegheny for a FO sight (integral sight to be drilled-out), and add a WC blacked-out "U" site. Need to decide on the height. Mine shoots 1.5 - 2" low at 7 yds and 3-4" at 15 yds. and that is with the front dot covering the target. I guess I prefer more of center or even 6 o'clock hold.
