Does anyone have a video or know of a video on how to install the big dot sights on a CM9?
Thanks

Most just install the ]big dot front sight and leave the rear along. In a SHTF situtaion allur gonna see is that front sight (at best) anyways. I thin our master camera man GB6491 has sumpin for you.

Well, I just broke down and ordered a set for my P40 from Midway... Big Dot 24/7 Express sights. I have the yellow HD NS on my XD45 and the Orange HD NS on my Glock 23C, but those still leave me wanting more visibility for DAY... and I need to get something for my wife's G19, so she'll have a chance to try all three "big dot-type" NS.
The P40 has become my main EDC and now I'll finally have something on it for night, too. I'll still be using the PM45 for night... going out tonight for 27th Anniversary (22nd) a few days early because Wednesday night was a good night for Red Lobster the last time!
I'm hoping to use my Glock Sight Pusher to install these. We'll just have to see how that goes! I'll add that to my P40 "blog".

wynn, will definitely be interested in seeing your results/experience. Been wanting to add the big dots to my TP9 and the general consensus is that doing your own sight on a Kahr is a PIA. I bought a sight pusher (sightpusher.com) awhile back for 'adjustments', but I have never tried installing new sights that might need filing, etc.
Is your "blog" a thread here or something external to KahrTalk? Will definitely check back either way to see how it goes.

I've only used it once... for my G23C and I had to file many times... just a tiny bit at a time. Even after I could get them halfway in, I was scared I was going to bend or break SOMETHING! The CW/CM's and the Glocks are easy... with the fronts, but the rears... I was surprised how much stoning I wound up doing... by eye to keep the angle the same. Those sights aren't going to fall out... that's for sure.
Grg posted a lot of stuff on the "C" model front sight installations and several have posted on that, too, so there should be some info available for the original topic. And a search online for YouTube videos should get results. Lots of peo0le do posts on this kind of stuff. I always head there and look up stuff for my new Glocks... lots of info out there!

Ihave had for about 5 years the B & J machine P500 sight pusher that I bought from brownells. Simply the best I have everused. works on my kahrs perfectly and my glocks as well. They are over a $100 today but IMO worth it, if ur looking for a good pusher.
