Dusty,

I don't know of anyone local who installs SIG sights, but another option is sending your 228 in for the SIG Service Plan. $129 will get you new night sights, plus a cleaning, inspection, replacement of springs, etc.: http://www.sigsauer.com/CustomShop/SSP.aspx

not from pitts area, just understand that when you switch sights they may not be right on like the factory ones, you might have to go back a few times until theyre accurate, maybe you can find someone that boresights them after installation.

go up to Anthony Arms, the smith there will toss them in for you IIRC it costs like me $20 for him to put on my GLOCL sights. They where right on.

I would call first; last time I checked with Ace, they only installed Glock sights.

A&S in youngwood (724-925-1212) will mount your sights for 15 bucks. They have a range so you can check them as well. If you buy them there, mounting is free. (XD's are the exception as they are VERY hard to remove)

Try Island Firearms on Neville Island. Wayne put sights on my Glock. He should be able to handle a Sig as well. Call first to make sure he can do it.

Island Firearms
7400 Grand Avenue
Neville Island, PA 15225
(412) 264-4867

Coming from Moon you'll cross the bridge to Neville Island. It's on the left just past the gas station. You should notice the "LIVE BAIT" sign on the roof. Classy!

I had Braverman do mine on my M&P. I think it was a 2 day turnaround because they were busy but look great and shoot very nice!

I forget the price but I think it was about $30
