Last Friday I was in Florence, Texas for the CHL Instructor range qualification.

Just so happens that Dawson Precision is located almost next door to the DPS range. So I went to go visit because I’ve never been there.

Oh, I’m so in love. 🙂

Everyone there was super nice, especially Kathy (lady up front, likely the one that answers the phone when you call). She gave us the tour around. Their testing range is just wicked cool. The whole facility is just neat.

I dropped off the slide from my XD-9 5″ so I could get a set of their sights installed onto it. I dropped it off on Friday. I didn’t expect to get it back until maybe end of this week?

I just got it back.

From the way the emails went, it looks like they took it on Friday, installed the sights first thing Monday morning, then got it to the UPS man before lunch (it was cheaper to have UPS Ground deliver it because it’d get here quickly and only cost $10… cheaper than what I’d pay in gas and time if I picked it up myself). Took more time for UPS to deliver it than for them to do the work!

And the work looks good. Haven’t taken it to the range (because it was supposed to be raining today… but it’s all bright and sunny out now… *whine whine whine*), but looks alright. I can say, the front sight is a slightly different design than my previous sight (I’ll get a picture later if I can).

Anyway, just writing to give a little love to Dawson Precision. Great folks!
