![]() Since then I have shot close to 10,000 rounds of 45 colt out of that gun and the sight is still in place and the nickel plating is fine. I did this on a nickel plated gun, using heat sink paste to protect the areas I did not want to get hot. I made sure it was somewhat oversized.ĥ) I then silver soldered the extension onto the existing sight base.Ħ) Back to the range to get the height right, then just shape the sight as you want it. Did not take it down all the way, just enough to get a fair base.Ĥ) I made a front sight extension from some coin silver, I just cut it out of a Silver half dollar. Now I knew how tall the new sight should be.ģ) I filed off the existing front sight until it was even. Shot the gun from the bench and slowly trimmed down the tape until I had a front sight that hit POA. Here is what I did.ġ) Went to the range and made a temporary front sight out of electrical tape. I have an Uberti Colt clone that was about like that in terms of needing a taller front sight.
