$65.00 For fiber optic sights, really?
and $35.00 to get them installed ! Eek

my eyes like them a lot better than the o.e.m. Ruger P90 sights.

but $100.00 ? ?

I checked around the whole gun ( used ) is only retailing for $335.00 .

I was expecting 30, 35 maybe $40.00
and $15 to knock the old ones out and put the new ones in ,

see what happens when you get out of the gun and gun accessories loop for 20 years

A hundred bucks is typical.

Oh, and the cost of the gun is irrelevant.

$65 is not bad for a set of FO sights.
Trijicon HD XR sights are about $175.

I have a Wheeler sight tool so installation is about 30 minutes of my time.

Put them on yourself and you are back down to $65.

If the sights aren't made by Fusion Firearms, they might actually fit. Wink

OP, get yourself one of those Wheeler sight tools. You won't regret it. I had six guns that I wanted to change sights. Local smith quoted me $240 . I ordered a Wheeler sight tool and couldn't be happier. It's very simple to do for guns such as Glocks, Sigs, S&W. Unless it's a 1911 with peened front sight then by all means let a smith deal with it.

thats slick , I think I could work that thing.

but not for one sight every 15 years

should I ask the smith if he uses one of those ?
or does he some how just bang them out and in ?

I've replaced several by just putting the slide in a vice and drive them out with a hammer and punch.

Fit the new sights with a file and tap them back in with a plastic punch and small hammer.
I use calipers and center the sights to the slide.

IME you really only need the front FO and if your pistol isn’t hitting where you want it’s a good opportunity to use Dawson’s calculator and get the height you need. They include the nylon drift and good instructions, and for $35 you can have a great setup. I’ve done this on 4 or 5 of my pistols and it’s very straightforward.

In fact the standard bar dot rear and Dawson FO front on my P226 is my favorite setup right now.
