Well I just took my new (well new to me anyhow) Hi-Power in .40 S&W to the range today for the first time. After about 150 rounds the front sight sheared off. The part that sits in the dovetail is still sitting in the dovetail, and the blade is completely off of the gun. The finish on the slide that was under the front sight is messed up so it's going to need to be redone. I want to replace the current sights with the Novak three dot system. Does he make a low profile adjustable rear sight? Can anyone recommend a smith to replace the sights, repair the finish on the slide, and work on the trigger?
