I tried out my new Mark III today. It's the Hunter model, stainless steel, 6 7/8" barrel. Very nice gun. It wasn't as hard to reassemble after cleaning as some people have suggested it would be. I need to work on improving my accuracy with it though.
First (dumb) question: It comes with several little colored pieces of plastic that I can use to replace the one in the front sight with. As purchased, the red plastic in the front sight is impossible for me to see at the range I went to. I want to put the green one in. Is there a trick to replacing these without breaking something? It looks like I'm just supposed to pull back but it's looking like the thin little plastic will break if I do that. The manual makes no mention of swapping these.
Should I consider getting a scope to mount on top of it, or perhaps even Crimson Trace laser grips? Which might be a better choice for a gun like this? I've never put a scope on a handgun before (just on my Ruger 10/22) so I have no experience to go by.
