After being quoted a three month minimum wait from my local smith, I decided as a fairly mechanically handy individual to do some minor work on my hi power practical.
My initial mods are going to be changing out the front sight post for an Xs standard 24/7, removing the ambi safety and installing a c&s extended strong side, and removing the magazine safety. This summer I will possible change out the rear sight and gunkote the slide, but that’s not definite at this time.
Right now I have a good set of screwdrivers, Stephen Camps excellent takedown guide and the gun. I want to do a brownells order for my parts and any tools I need, so input is appreciated.
I am going to order the P500 UNIVERSAL SIGHT TOOL as soon as they come back in stock. It’s a little pricy but I think it will pay for itself on night site installation costs over my lifetime.
I also am planning on getting the dovetail file, and a brass punch set. Input on which brass punch set I should get would be helpful. I’m leaning towards: Masen Brass Hammer and Punch Set
Are there any other basic tools I should order? Thanks
