Hey,
Something a little strange happened to me today that I am looking for some knowledgeable input on.
I took my M&P 45 to a local shop to have Trijicon sights installed. It was a pretty decent price at $100 installed and they are the only shop in town that I've found them at so far without having to order them.
The bench was just behind the counter about 15 ft, so I could see generally what was going on.
It took a little longer than I expected, but I'm no gunsmith, so what do I know? After he was done installing the sights on the slide, he started trying to put it all back together. After a few minutes of trying, he came to me and said that the sights were interfering with the mag release, and the slide wouldn't go all the way on. He said that he'd need to keep it for a day or two.
What I find odd is that I thought the rear sight was a dovetail, and can't imagine it protrudes into the compartment below any. I'm sure the front sight isn't anywhere near the mechanisms.
So, I'm left wondering what just happened, and why I left my pistol with him. The shop is pretty high profile, so I'm not real worried about them stealing it or anything. And, they made sure to have me fill out a card, and give me a ticket stub.
Any thoughts ?
