Novak Sites on my Sig 226?

[faiello5]

Hi all. I want to put some Novak sites on my 226. Can it be done without having to do any milling work on the slide? Can I remove the old Sig sites and install the new Novak's without any special tools? What is the best way to go about doing it? Thanks.

Frank,
I put Novak carry twin white dot rear sights on my P220 and P228. They are small-streamlined-visible. They do not require replacing the front sight. The stock sight comes out, if I remember correctly?, left to right. If you try to remove it the wrong way it doesn't budge. Look for little scratches in the dovetail from where the factory installed it. I used a brass punch to remove and reinstall the Novak sight. If the new sight is too snug in the dovetail you may have to sand a little bit off the bottom. I find the little carry sight to be much more visable to my eyes than the stock Sig. white bar sight.
Good Luck,
Bob
