Adding tritium 'nite sights on the CM/PM

[saltydog452]

For us derelict geezers who feel the need to be armed, the larger tritium sights seem to be a help. At least, they are for tri-focal wearing me.

Is installing Ashley Express front and rear sights on the CM/PM models a major pain in the wallet?...who has had this work done?...and whatever information that you'd care to share sould be appreciated.

Thanks,

salty

The last I heard XS has "Big Dot Express sights" for CM/CW, 9/40/45 Kahr pistols that do not require milling of the slide. However, these sights are not listed on the website so you need to contact them directly about it:

I put the XS sights on my PM45. If I was and I like them very much.
If I was doing a CM I might be tempted to just install the front big dot (actually the standard dot shows up nice too) and see how the gun shoots with the stock rear sight. I haven't measured one of course but they appear similar in height.
The front is pretty easy, the rear can be a very tight little bugger to get off.
I do like the shallow v they have on the rear myself but I'm thinking the stock rear might work as well.

You guys are going to force me to spend my First Communion money. Damn it. :)

That's what I was going to do on my CM45, till I found out XS won't sell the screw on C series front Big Dot sight to you for self installation!!!

Seems completely silly IMO to make a screw-on FS, so that no machining of a dove tail has to be done, then turn around and only offer them as a XS factory install item, thus adding installation and shipping fees... They can keep them!

Somehow I figured out how to put a little loctite on a screw, and turn it, to install my front Trijicon NS on my CW/CM 9mm's.:rolleyes:

That is strange isn't it? For sights you only have to send the slide so the shipping isn't huge but still it can't be rocket science to install a screw on sight.
