Just bought a new Kahr CW45 at the gunshow yesterday. I know that the plastic front sight is "permanently" pinned on with some type of heated clamp that melts/smooshes the pins underneath the top part of the slide kind of like a rivet gun would.
My question is this; could a competent gunsmith/machinist cut a dovetail just behind the second pin hole and drift in a nice metal sight with a tritium insert? or would this be ill-advised as it might affect the structural rigidity of the slide?
I havent even shot this gun yet but I already love it and after im satisfied of its reliability I plan on making it my EDC. The CW line has its drawbacks compared to the P series Kahrs, but I accept them for the price I paid. I would really like to have night sights installed and just wanted to pick some educated brains about my options.
