It doesn't even necessarily have to be cheap.

Ideally some place where I could drop it off and pick it up the next day if while-u-wait isn't an option..

I already own the sights, TruGlo tritium fiber optics.

I don't know if this is a convenient location for you, but Randy Hengl was great about replacing pieces of my cheap 1911 as I broke them:

We have five Glock armorers on staff, and we can generally do it for you while you wait if you come in between 9-5 Mon-Fri

I had always bought Trijicons, but tried a set of the TruGlow on my SIG 229 SAS. The best of both worlds, great sights!

I'm a big fan of Randy's -- he's a good guy, and a good gunsmith.

Bills got it done "while I wait" and for cheap, too.

Thanks, Bills!

Robbinsdale. Circle Pines is far enough that waiting for someone to do it closer would probably have been more desirable. Robbinsdale is still a 30 mile round trip for me, but Circle Pines and the afternoon madness on 35 between 36 and 85th street is just more abuse than I can take.

I save my strength for the abuse I take on that road in the spring and summer driving to Metro Gun Club to shoot shotgun sports.

I also drive as part of my job, and there are just days where pushing the daily odometer beyond 200 miles is hard to take, especially if it involves a long stretch of spirit-crushing stop and go driving.

Ohhh, I can remember the days as a Navy Recruiter, bouncing back and forth between the Navy Headquarters at 3rd & Washington and as far as Cannon Falls/ Northfield. Traffic sucked then (mid to late 80s) and it hasn't changed. It's especially frustrating when someone needs something right away and you're hurrying to get that stuff done.
