Professional gunsmith installation required. This is a gunsmith-level part that comes without a pre-drilled hole. Installation process:

1. Seat the sight in the barrel slot
2. Drill the pin hole (typically with a #53 drill bit) to match your specific frame's pin location
3. Install the appropriate pin for your model (blue or stainless)

Note: Improper installation can damage the barrel or sight. We strongly recommend professional installation by a qualified gunsmith.
