    Dovetails cut?

    I recently purchased a CW40 and want to have night sights installed. Can someone suggest a good gunsmith to cut the dovetail for the front site? Is this something a good machinist would be able to do or should I be looking for a specialist? Thanks Aaron

    Contact Tool Tech, they do tritium installation work, that requires machining, for Trijicon.

    Kahr now has a Trijicon sight set in stock for the CW series. No need to cut a dovetail, unless you just want to. I purchased the set and installed them on my CW45. The front was a breeze. The rear sight had too much interference and would not install as it was. I had to remove 0.007" of the width so it could be pressed into the slot. It is fine now.
