Installing new iron sights? Good call.
Over-torquing them? Not so good.

This is a quick-reference guide with torque specs for typical iron sight installs across common handgun platforms. Keep it in your toolbox, range bag, or taped to your bench.

Torque spec chart for iron sight installation on handgun platforms

Why it matters:

  • Over-torquing = damaged threads, cracked sights, or worse.

  • Under-torquing = loose sights that shift at the worst possible moment.

  • The right spec = secure install, no drama.

Bonus Tip: Always use thread locker—blue for most installs. Don’t skip that step.
