Knox area gunsmith?

[A.J. Holst]

Simple project, remove rear sight from a Beretta APX RDO.

Has to be removed to swap out the cover plate for a red dot.

Not easy; downside to the APX series is the dovetails are so tight, without Beretta's heavy duty $550 pusher, DIY sight swaps are nigh impossible.

 If you dont want the sight, band saw threw most of it to the slide and then push it out.  Piece of cake.

If you have any problems making arrangements, I’ll be glad to give it a try with my MGW tool. If just ask you cover the chest of the APX shoe ( should be less than $20) and I’d give you the shoe after.

 Conversely, I could offer you a deal on a MGW sight pro. I have two and could sell one, but you’d still need to buy the shoe for it.

Are you trying to mount some strangely large optic and need more clearance for it?

On the APX RDO, it's not necessary to remove the rear sight to take the cover plate off, or mount many red dot sights using the plate system.  You'll just have a useless normal height sight behind the optic.
