C100 Project Upgrades

[Pageram]

Excellent Tpepper! Looks like I'm gonna have to get a c100 now. I was gonna get  sar B6p compact but since I already have a T100 and a T120 I might as well stick with the theme. Good work, man!

I got a c100 last year and the sights were off, gun shot about 6 inches low, I got a taller rear sight and dinged my gun up pretty good doing it but finally got the gun to be pretty accurate using sight image 3. so far I have shot over 1000 rounds and the gun hasn't malfunctioned once, its a fantastic weapon, congrats on getting yours all set up

Thanks guys. I have found this to be a fun gun that is easy to conceal carry, very accurate and a joy to shoot. What more could you ask for. I think I'm gonna get a full size for night stand duty. Have to build some funds up since my play fund is depleted right now. Dang it.

Alright guys, since this is a gun I don't plan on selling/trading, I decided to do a little customizing. I have a cousin that works at a 3d printing place. They also have laser engraving machines. A while back I saw some cool engraving, etching, he did on his G27 and asked about it. He told me to come up with something and he'd gladly engrave it for free because they want some test guns before they start selling these services. Since I'm a firm believer in Christ, and preacher too, I decided to do something totally unique and different than what most others do. I wanted a phrase that showed my faith and crosses. This is what we came up with. I'm very happy with how it turned out and my cheapo custom 9mm. I'll let ya'll figure out what it says.

Looking good! I'm seriously thinking about installing a spring kit in my P-120. It already has an outstanding SA trigger pull for a stock Tristar, but a lightened DA trigger would be nice. I'm also seriously thinking about installing a  CGW replacement barrel bushing along with a fiber optic front sight.
Rough translation of your ingraving- In the cross, while I breath, I trust  Am I right?

[Tpepper70]

I'd like to have a P120 for night stand duty. The springs make a big difference and they don't cost much.

[Tpepper70]

Sorry wdbutcher, just noticed your translation. Yes, that is correct. English moves the words around a little, but same meaning.

That looks real slick and seems to perform exceptionally well. Outstanding!

Tpepper,

From which direction did you drive your rear site out?  With rear of slide facing you as if sighting down the axis, was it right to left?   Did you use a nylon or bass punch to accomplish the task?  I have a c100 in 9mm and .40 cal and would like to change sites.  A while ago I tried drifting the rear site on th 9mm and couldn't get it to budge.  I was attempting to drift it left to right as I was printing left of sighting point.  Thanks for your feedback and or tips.

Best,

Texf6

Morning. I had the slide in a big vice, card board wrapped, and went right to left as you're looking from the back of slide. I used a 2lb hammer and a solid brass punch. I had to hit it pretty hard to bust it loose. Once loose, it drifted pretty easy. Also, make sure you knock out the front sight pin and file a little off the top of the barrel bushing. Makes it much easier. They use some kind of glue on the rear sight that works very well. Haha. Good luck to ya and I hope this helped.

I have a sight pusher coming in this afternoon, and I have my P-100 slide in the freezer right now. The rear P-100 sight looks identical to the C-100. I want to drift the rear sight to the right (ejection port side) about .010-.015 and call it a day. If there is glue securing the rear sight, will breaking it loose cause a problem with the new position? I'm hoping it will still be tight enough and not have to be removed and re-glued.

[Tpepper70]

If it's as tight as mine was, I see no reason to completely remove it.
