Changing sights on a P220 Login/Join

Curious how easy or hard it is to change out sights on a P220. I figure the rears might come out fairly easily, but the front sight base is so thin, it doesn't seem to offer much for a sight pusher to grab onto.

Is it something you can do with a basic sight pusher or even a hammer and punch?

Thanks

gunsrfun1,

It is a very easy process. At the height of my P220 madness I had 10 of them, and I changed the sights on every one to Siglite night sights. I've got the process down to take me about 10 minutes from start to finish. I have a basic sight pusher that I bought off of eBay a few years ago.

You are welcome to try it out if you would like.

Thank you remsig, may take you up on that. I assume that pusher works on both front and rear sights, correct?
Thanks again

Absolutely, it does both front and back. I even used the pusher on my 226's and 320.

My sickness has cost me a lot of money. I've since sold 4 of the 220's and 2 of my 226's. Every one of them have had night sights courtesy of remsig Big Grin LOL

I have a universal Sig tool and if you want to ship the slide and sights to me I’ll put em on for you. Easy process takes 10 minutes.





10 years to retirement! Just waiting!

Thanks OttoSig, will keep you in mind. Not sure yet if I am keeping the OEM or not, but good to know.

Just don't send it to SIG. I made that mistake. A summer intern must have replaced them at SIG and mine must have been his first go at doing it.

Well damn! Mad

To add insult to injury, the shipping costs to & back from Sig cost an arm & a leg.
