Fellas: I'm new to the Austin area and I'm looking for a qualified gunsmith to install a set of Trijicon night sights on my XD-45. If anyone knows of any good smiths, please feel free to let me know. I'm also looking for a good M-44 or M-39 in the Austin area if anyone knows of a shop. Thanks everyone. |

Try The Gun Store in Cedar Park. I think David sells and installs these in-house. 512-335-5534. |
Good call.

The only gunsmith I have used in Austin is Hank Flemming. His work is good but he is slow. Turnaround is usually a month or more in my limited experience. http://www.hankgun.com/ I have also heard good things about Alan Tillman when it comes to pistol (specifically 1911) work, but have never used him. ART ENTERPRISES Alan R. Tillman 1702 Barbara St., Austin, TX 78757; (512) 454-9328 Good luck. James Austin, Texas |
Thanks Keith: I got in touch with Mr. David who mentioned that he couldn't do the sights in house and that he wasn't sure if he could farm them out to a gunsmith to have them installed. He did offer to call me back in 'a week or so' once he figures out if this can be done or not. Does anyone have any idea who else could do such a project? Hank and Alan weren't interested at all. |
| Try Tom at Heritage Firearms. He did some work on a 1911 for me, so he might be able to give you a hand |

Thanks Leaky. I called Heritage firearms and will have them install my sights for me. On a side note, there are absolutely NO dealers in Austin who sell SG01 trijicon pistol night sights. Hell, I even called McBrides who told me 'Go get them off the internet" Sigh. |
