Hey Any Glock Armorers...

Well I managed to tear up my front sight on my G19, Glock was nice enough to send me two replacements and a bunch of those little pins that fit inside them, all for free. I pulled off my old front sight and put one of the new front sights in the slide, then I stuck one of the pins in the front sight and pushed it in as far is it would go, but it sticks out of the bottom of the sight a little bit. The original didn't stick out below the sight at all. Should this pin go in further? Or do I cut off the excess part of the pin? Also, I didn't use any locktight or glue to hold the pin in, should I have? It didn't look like the original used anything.

COOL!

Yes, push it all the way in. The end of the pin should be slightly recessed of at least flush.

No

Yeah, they were great about it, I didn't even get a chance to ask what the price would be, and I expected to be charged since my G19 is so old. The guy on the phone just asked for my address and sent them out.

I can't seem to get the pin to go in any further so I think I will try to trim it slightly so it is flush as you suggest. Thanks for the response!
