I’ll be interested to see what you come with for a replacement.

I ain't gettin' no damn replacement Meprolight. I'm spending my hard-earned cash and getting a couple of set of Trijicon sights. One set will go on the Sig, my at-home piece. The other will go on the Kimber Ultra Covert. I'll use its still-working front sight to replace the dead one on the Pro. If the tritium went out on one of those custom rear sights, I'd be in even bigger trouble. I'll be getting a lot more use out of that sight pusher.

And I removed the magazine safety from the Walther P22. Much better now. The trigger is a "stirrup" type, like the M1911, and the magazine safety is a large plastic plate that uses a heavy spring to push the front of the trigger bow down, countering another, weaker spring that would keep it in contact with the sear at all times.

With that plastic part, and spring, gone, the trigger pull is much better, the mag release button doesn't have to work against that spring pressure, and mags just drop out, rather than being launched out the bottom. It handles like a grown-up weapon now.

Evening WinMag: Sight pushers can be our friends all right. Kudos on the P-22 tune-up. Even reloading, the ever versatile .22 Long Rifle is still the cheapest way to shoot. (except for the .22 Match Ammo shooters amongst us)
