I don’t disagree at all but my gun is not sighted. It shoot to the left at anything past 10-15 feet. So it’s just a point and shoot, get off me gun. But it shoots reliably.
Thx for the vid. I ordered one the other day and was hoping it came with a new pin. I got my punch stuck in the hole and it snapped off in there. Punched it out with a ground down finish nail and I can't find the roll pin.
Glad you got it out though. I need to get a roll pin punch for this size. I was so happy my little mar wiped off. I had a 1/16th inch roll pin punch once. Just cannot find it right now.
@@Kornholeeoo Thx. I marred mine up pretty good lol. I bought two roll pin punch sets off Amazon already. They came with hammers with extra strikers and armorers blocks. I was using a 2X4 and a claw hammer hahahaha all set up now.
I sure don’t know. If I have some time later, I’ll try to find out. I’ll write back if I find it can. But I’m headed into a 2-day work weekend so it may be a few days. If you are on Facebook, there is a Taurus fan page and maybe someone on there will know. I got this off the Taurus website and there may be info there as well. Good luck and thanks for watching!!
That ain't no 1/16th hole, I can 100% tell you that. Using the instructions on this video I definitely F'd up my guns finish quite a bit trying with a 1/16th punch. Smh
My eyes ain’t what they used to be. I’m very sorry. I go by lining up the punch and this particular punch, the writing is about warn off. So I was guessing. I used to have a set of punches that had big lettering but I wore them out or broke them. This was the smallest punch I had and I thought it was a 1/16th.
I just looked at the punch and it's so faint but it still looks like it says 1/16. But it's made in Taiwan, at least I think that's what it says. I had made 3 videos on this and I thought I said I think it's 1/16 but I was sick and my voice was cracking so bad that I went with this video version because my voice was audible better. Again, I'm so sorry.
@@Kornholeeoo well what's done is done. No need to apologize. Apparently it varies from gun to gun. Some it's a 1.5mm, some 1.4mm, some 1/16th. Idk why Taurus does this but Apparently it's why most sight companies don't mess with their guns as I am now learning.
@@taasch2505 I just saw a post on FB talking about this and I was thinking it was maybe you. Seems everyone has had problems but I changed the title to say it is NOT 1/16” punch. If it is a black finish, you can buy a touch up marker that looks like a magic marker with a blue cap. It a cold blue pen and it’s made for this. But be sure you soak the spot you touch up with oil soaked rag to stop the rust from forming.
I installed the sight on my 856 and the night sight is useless. When the gun is on target, the tritium vial is so low that it's out of sight. I sent customer service two polite messages and got two identical "canned" responses saying they'd refund the price of the sight if I returned it but not the shipping. Then I sent them a firm response explaining again that the sight was faulty but they didn't respond. Years ago, I told myself I'd never do business with them again, but a friend told me that they'd gotten their act together so I thought I'd give them another try. I guess it was a mistake.
Love the cats just randomly fighting in the middle of the video Lol
Using 1/16th roll punch worked for me! Thanks for the video!!
Great video and you seem like a great guy. I'll be checking out your other videos. Thanks for this great how to and God bless.
God Bless you too and thank you very much!!
Thanks for the much needed info!
Be careful with the punch size. People are reporting their punch size is different. Don’t want you scratching the gun.
Much better looking sight!
Thanks. I think it looks way better too. In the dark there is a tiny green tritium dot visible.
@@Kornholeeoo I put one on my G3c, I love it.
Outstanding! Thank you kindly!🇺🇸
Thanks for the video! Did your POA change with the new sight? I am thinking of putting one on my little 942 lr eight shot. Thanks
Yes. The gun shoots lower. I have to put the orange dot on top of the rear sights now as the sight picture. Thanks for watching!!
The Ameriglo sights are poorly designed guys. Consider XS Sights instead.

The dot on the Amerglo sits too low on the sight , just a crappy design

@@fiddy_watchguy 🤣🤣 Sounds like my early days there! But hey, if it works!
@@Kornholeeoo Yup! I'm gonna send one to my brother, I think. Have a good night and thx again.
@@fiddy_watchguy You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
thanks
Is the 942 front post the same as the 856 and 605? Does anyone know?
@@BADD1ONE I do not know. But if you or anyone finds the answer, please post it!
@@Kornholeeoo I have a 942 on the way. I'm gonna try my old post from my 327 which is an 856 (technically). I'll let you know
good vid usefull info question is that sight metal or plastic
Thanks. It is metal.
Any idea if this will fit the Model 605!

Where did you find sights?
On the Taurus website. I hear they sell out quickly. But they were in stock when I got this gun.
Do you add loctite?
I have before to the pin if it’s not really tight.

I used a 1/16 punch, no problems perfect install

I gave up on this thing being accurate. I’ve relegated it to a point and shoot gun.
XS Sights make a much better sight.
I mean, how much do you expect out of a $30 sight dude, it's a massive upgrade over the stock sight
