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

I haven't participated in any pistol or rifle competition events, but I have been taking handgun training courses that are specific to concealed handgun techniques. The only prize is that hopefully you won't shoot yourself in the foot (or worse) and be able to shoot a bad guy if that situation ever arose. The training is pretty enjoyable because they set up interesting shooting scenarios.

I bet IDPA events would be fun though!
