Default Reputable Gunsmith

Got all the bells and whistles to put on/into the shield:

CT Green Laser
Apex Trigger Kit
Nights

Anyone know of a guy that I can have put them in and zero correctly? This was a big investment so I want someone to do a good job.

Also considering coating the barrel in cerakote or chrome but that's not a priority...

I'm pretty sure we have gunsmith' here that would love to help you out.

The laser you can install yourself technically. Then start at 5yd and move out to the desired distance where POA and POI match up.

Here's more info on the laser, even though I'm sure you've seen it already:

For the trigger kit and sights you could ask Apex Tactical Specialties, Inc. directly.

For the barrel work I'd contact Robar.

Just like finding a good mechanic. Ask around, ask for references at your ranges, check with shooters at matches local to you. Put in your "Due Diligence and you can find one. Get lazy and ask for references on the internet, things probably won't turn out well. You didn't give us a location so what kind of a reference are you expecting???

The laser and even the trigger kit is some you could do . Sights might need so help. Front sight may need a sight pusher.

If you have a indoor range many times a gun smith is part owner or tied to the range. None of those are hard to do with a couple basic tools. I even our range let me use there sight pushed and files if needed to change sights on a glock.

Most stand alone smiths if gun are very busy. Might try clark bros gun range in warrenton. See what smithy reviews look like.

Check with James at Tacti-Cool.com

or maybe better (with a less evocative pic):

I've used him for sights and Apex with good success. I think he can do all you are asking.

JAGX,

"...I'm will to mail it somewhere."

Well if it's the receiver (e.g. for trigger work), shipping to a smith, via the required UPS or FedEx shipping can run $60-80, unless you too happen to be an FFL. Finding a local source can be worthwhile.

Best of luck

One thing to be aware of regarding installing sights yourself is that it may void any warranty they offer.
