There's a chance I'll need a .050" or 1.27mm - 1.3mm Allen/hex wrench today. 1.3mm should do it. If anyone has one that I could come use or borrow, it would be greatly appreciated. On the other hand, if anyone knows of a store or specialty shop at which I could purchase one, or a set that includes one, please let me know. Admittedly, I only checked at Walmart when I was picking up the Mobil 1 and filter for my car. Please and thank you!!
 
If I like the sights that are delivered today, I'll be changing them on my Beretta Nano. Easiest sight install ever, just need the allen wrench. I installed and removed and returned a set I got from Beretta, the front was noticeably dimmer than the rear. Ameriglo has a "factory direct" store on eBay, and I got a smoking deal on a set. Too good to pass up but I've never seen Ameriglo in person so I may hate them and not even install. I prefer Meprolight but alas they don't make them for the Nano.

This looks promising. Thank you. I'll be applying heat to the sights, hopefully make it easier.

Take a soldering iron and keep it in the center of the allen head cut out of the bolt. Might takes a few minutes but it will put direct heat in to the bolt.

Just to sump up the possible places.
Northern Tool
Harbor Freight (remember by a few)
Fastenal
Ace Hardware
Tractor Supply/Agri Supply
 
I really appreciate that. There is a set at HF that has 1.27mm and 0.05". Only 8 bucks! If one of those don't do it, I'm screwed.

@MochaJoe , I have a couple that you can have. I work on S Elm st in Greensboro.
If you can come by, that's fine. Or pm you address and I'll put a couple in the mail.

I hope you like them. I have the Ameriglo Hackathorn on two carry pistols, and the idot on another.

They are very good sights, imo. Put them on all my Grocks!
