Fire-Sights install Ruger 22/45 LITE

[Hibs]

Finally got around to installing these William Fire-Sights on my Ruger Mark IV 22/45 LITE. I had to use my heat gun to remove screw from front sight as it had thread locker on it. But with some heat it came right out. A while ago I had removed the rear sight base from the dovetail and tried a red dot (which I didn’t like) so I had to re-install the rear sight base with new Williams fiber sight. The new base DID NOT want to go in via sight pusher or brass punch. I ended up having to sand one side of the sight base a little bit for it to fit into the dovetail of the pistol. I got it sanded just enough to where it was then able to be tapped in with the brass punch. The sight base also has two set screws, so it’s not going anywhere.

These Williams Fire-Sights really do look fantastic, the pictures don’t do it justice. I look forward to hitting the range soon and sighting it in.

Very nice, I just put into jail the tactical model.

Are they fiber optic or tritium?

Have you thought about adding a red dot? The 22/45 Lite is perfectly setup for one.

The OP said in the first ( run on ) paragraph that he had already tried a red dot , and did not like .
