Update

Caspian has the receiver and is to send me a confirmation on the parts and services requested.

I'm debating on whether or not to go with the glock front sight cut or just go with the dovetail sight. I like the utility of adjusting elevation fairly quickly, though it wouldn't be as rugged of a setup as the dovetail.

Decided to go with the Kart EZ fit barrel system. Guess this thread would be kind of boring without getting to watch me screw it up royally!

Forgot to mention ToolTech will be installing the tritium in the sights.


Hopefully will update soon with some action!



Any thoughts on my sight predicament? Should I worry about the Glock sight if I am dosing it with blue loctite?
