The sights are rock solid. Haven't shot with it yet but the install wasn't bad and I don't have any special tools. Only things I grabbed from the toolbox were a standard steel file, hammer, and a nail punch.

what do you mean by filing the base? why would you have to do that on sights that are built for this gun?
