I received a set of Williams Fire Sights for my Ruger P95 for Christmas and took them to the gunsmith at the largest indoor range in Oklahoma thinking that their reputation would guarantee a good job. Well, I dropped the gun off yesterday and picked it up today. Of course the first thing I do is check out how well the sight picture looks; amazing! Further inspection reveals that the front sight is not sitting flush against the slide. It is perfectly level instead of sloping downward as it should. There is a gap about 1/16 of an inch between the sight and the slide.
So I asked the smith about it and he said that sometimes it just doesn't fit. What the he$$ kind of an answer is that? All he needed to do was file the bottom of the sight until it fit flush into the slide. I went ahead and paid the $15 and left so I could make it to work on time. Now, I've got to order a new front sight ($20) and then I have to pay someone competent enough to do the job correctly. How ridiculous is that? I think I'll go back tomorrow and discuss the situation with the owner of the range, get my money back, and never return. Idiots!
