Ok, I'm finished modifying the rear sight of my Ruger SR9! Let me know what you guys think?
I started off with a standard plastic Glock sight and used a sharp knife to chop off the sides so it's narrow enough to fit within the metal rear sight base of the SR9. Then I shaved/sanded/filed the bottom as much as I could so it wouldn't stand so high.
I thought the modifying the rear sight leaf would be the hardest part, but it really wasn't all that difficult. I used a knife to get it started and worked slowly and carefully to get the general shape. Then I used a triangle file to put on the right angle so it would mate up to the Glock sight well. Then after making sure all the surfaces were as flat as I could get them I lined everything up and applied epoxy and then refit everything.
Now I have to take it to the range and make sure it's at the right elevation. I really like this sight picture!
Thanks to all the guys willing to spare a rear Glock sight for me to do this!
