Back in July of 2007 I dropped off my plain jane GI 1911 that I used to carry daily at Champion Arms for a simple night sight install. Lo and behold after getting fed line after line of B$ for 6 months I get my piece back last week. My company had a qualification range today(3/5/07). After shooting less the 100 rounds with the new sights, the front sight blade decided it wanted a divorce from the slide and ended up about 20 feet behind the current firing line. we had to go cold for almost 30 minutes to find it. I've spoken with several other gunsmiths before today who told me I shouldn't trust the work of the gunsmith from champion arms, but sights are hard to mess up....well it looks like they messed it up anyways. My instructor was kind enough to lend me his Glock to get my qualification taken care of, and I'm going to be asking him to spread the word in the instructor community. :banghead::cuss:
Anyone know of a competent smith in the area that can fix my baby for me?
Thanks for reading.
