Viper Report post Posted April 4, 2014 Can anyone recommend a reliable person/gunsmith in the east valley that can remove/install sights on my XDm? I prefer a press to be used to minimize dinging up the slide. Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rossislider Report post Posted April 4, 2014 I've also used Keith at Phoenix Custom. He does a good job. That said I prefer Lance at Dane Customs. Side by side I have found Lance's work to be a bit cleaner and more precise. For an example of what I mean check out this thread: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/40519-a-couple-of-new-muzzle-brakes/ The Badger Thruster on my 300 RUM Sendero was done by Keith. The Shrewd on my 7mm-08 Tikka was done by Lance. Notice what a great job Lance did of blending the barrel and the brake together. You cannot tell where one ends and the other starts. This is typical of Lance's work. Keith also did a good job, and I am very happy with the brake. But he didn't give quite the same level of attention to the aesthetics of the brake/barrel. Lance is in Chandler just off of AZ Ave (Country Club) and Elliot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viper Report post Posted April 4, 2014 Lance is on my way home from work. What is the name of the shop?....contact info? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rossislider Report post Posted April 4, 2014 Lance Johnson. He is the shop owner of Dane Customs. Be sure to call or text him before going down to make sure he is there. He usually doesn't answer the phone, but is pretty prompt about returning calls. 480-215-2295 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
