You will need a padded vice, a hammer, a brass punch, a file or sand paper for fitting the base, and some Blue Loc-Tite.

Don't even attempt if you don't have a sight pusher. Rear wasn't bad but front was a pain. I have the cheap $60 sight pusher from glockstore, and it was still difficult. I didn't file fit mine because the front is press fit. Pusher dented the front a little. Accuracy depends on how centered they are, and the shooter skill. Up to you. I prefer to do it myself because I'm way too anal. I centered mine with Starret digital dial calipers. Lol

If you have a good solid vise to hold the slide and a good punch set to the same shape for the dovetail front, one can do it himself. If you don't have a vise don't try it

I tried briefly to remove the oem rear sight on my SR9C but decided the fit was too tight for the brass punch and hammer method. I took it to a local gunsmith who had the correct sight press. It took him only a few minutes to press out the old and in with the new. $10.00 well spent not to mark up my SR9C slide.

You will need a sight pusher to take off sights on the Ruger SR9C and install Meprolight sights. I bought a new sight pusher off ebay for total price of $38.75. I did 2 SR9c's & the 1st one was difficult. The 2nd one was faster, since I learn from the first. Do not drive the Meprolight sights on by using a punch & hitting, for you may damage them. I went to youtube.com and find some help with others using the sight pusher. I hope this helps you.

Unless you have gunsmith training, you should have them installed by a professional. The local gun shop I go to charges $35 per hour and that is what I was charged for the installation. I love my Meprolight night sites!

You could do it yourself but I would reccomend a gun smith just because of the reliability issue and for the price you can't go wrong. Mine only charged $30 to do this and well worth it knowing it's done right.

Scott - I too have not had to adjust the retention screw. I did mess with it a little and I did not notice a difference in effort required to draw, so I stopped messing with it. My experience is similar to Don's - out of the box it firmly holds my SR40C in place and a twist is required to draw.

I was able to put it in just fine. I'm handy, but by no means a gunsmith. Make sure you get a good brass punch set so you don't mar the finish. Also, take a wax pencil or something like that to mark the position of the rear sight before you move it to the side. A sight press made (I got something like this: http://www.sightpusher.com/) it much easier to remove the sight, but you could probably tap it off with the punches. Good luck! This trigger made all the difference.

Hi, I bought this for my father, as he's the hunter. I know he made an adapter for his gun, but he doesn't usually need instructions for things like this. Have you tried contacting the company? If you're more specific on what you need, maybe I can ask my father for you. Regards, Debby

Go to mossy oak graphics or you tube for an installation video...it will explain how to install it on your gun

The rear was fine. Maybe I bit wider but not a big issue. The front was a real pita to fit. Too wide for the dove tail and had to stone the heck out of the bottom of the sight to get it to fit. I used an MGW sight pusher without which I'm sure I would have destroyed the front sight. As it was I damaged a bit of the part next to the front sight blade but the gun shoots nicely to point of aim with 115gr ball. So I would definitely recommend gunsmith installation.

This is to help other Ruger AR556 owners. I apologize posting in this thread. 1" riser did not work for me. It's too high. I'm going to try 0.83 next.

I have the sr9c and the sights fit, I believe it's the same gun just different size barrel so I don't see why it wouldn't fit.

Yes . I installed it on mine with locktite , I also used the allan screw that was shipped with it ....I believe Ruger owns the maker of this sight & is on some models standard ...

I just installed it on my smith & wesson M&P; sport 15. It took all of about 10 minutes and is solid as a rock. No modifying needed. I put on a fore grip, light, and laser combo. I like the long rail to adjust the accessory to a comfortable position.

I ended up having to tape the individual pads together in order to get it together properly. I tried taping the pads to the stock and not taping them. Not taping them worked better after I figured out the right way to "roll" the sleeve on. Once it was in place the pads did not move. They seemed to "cup" a little bit around the top of the stock. I have installed two so far on a CZ 452 and a henry lever action. Both of them have narrow combs so I was worried but they are working fine. It is a bear to install however so drink some patience juice before you start.

It mounted on my SR9C. The light stuck out about an inch from the barrel. I shot 50 rounds with no problems. Laser is nice and bright compared to my other lasers with the coin batteries.

I did not put mine on a SR, (Anything made by Ruger is awesome) It fit perfectly on my 1911 without any need of fitting.

I'm sure the sr45 uses the same sites as the sr9's. Have a gunsmith install, impossible to install with out experience. I have them on my sr9c and love them. Helped the aim of the gun and they glow better then the more pricey sites I have shopped for. Hope this helps.

Nope. I have the sr22 & the sr9c. It didn't fit either properly. My opinion is it's junk. Save your money.

It's much more tricky on my Glock than my beretta. I don't like the fact that the laser stays on once the slide has been cycled. I question whether or not I have it installed correctly. You might want to research that on LaserMax's website. But I must say. It is super simple on a Beretta 92f
