KAHR E9 Modification

Shake · October 30, 1999, 12:25 AM

I am thinking of installing night sights on a KAHR E9. The front sight on the E9 is pinned in place and has no dovetail cut. Does anyone know if a dovetail can be cut on the E9 so it can accept night sights from Meprolight, and the other manufacturers? Shake

Shake, it depends on how much meat you have in that spot on the slide. Most of those dovetails will be from .065" to .075" deep. George
