Nissan 370Z Forum  

Anyone here into firearms?

What about drilling small holes into the sights before painting to give it a cleaner look? This is just me thinking, I'm a little OCD tho.

i don't trust myself with drilling my sights.
the way it is right now it is still reversible...if i drill there's no going back. and i don't have clamps and stuff to keep the gun still while im drilling
eventually i'll shell out money for aftermarket sights

X, All you need to change is your front sight. Go to dawsonprecison.com and look for their fiber optic front sight specific to your gun. Even without those dots on the rear (sorry), you'll be able to easily acquire them. You can PM me and I'll give you info on a good gunsmith in the SFV. Probably $40 to install the front sight. Kinda pricey bec it's a dovetail fit.

i ended up taking off the paint from the rear sights last night...it didn't look good
kept the paint on the front sight though since that one dried pretty well.

anyone here done any IDPA? are there entry fees and stuff? I've looked at 2 local sites that host IDPA but they don't list fees

Imperial, I had that same Bushnell scope. Not bad at all for the $. Ended up selling it and getting a Vortex Viper PST 1-4x. Take a look at that scope too, you might like it!

I checked it out, it doesn't quite have the aesthetics I prefer but thanks for the tip. If anything I would replace it with their StrikeFire model or the Burris XTS 135
