    Nothing to the rear. The instructions are on the XS Sights website. I used files and a dremel to do the work. Take your time and you'll be fine.

    As 03RN posted, the instructions show the same height of the front sight once you install the new one. In practice mine shoots POI/POA with 125gr and 158 hit just a bit high. I would test what works for you and your gun as they all prefer different ammo.

    The pocket holsters are a Galco 158 I've had for years and a Uncle Mikes #3. The Kydex AIWB is one I made.

    Nicely done! That looks great. I'm sure its satisfying to do your own work and have it turn out so well. Excellent job!
