    I would do it because that is what the owners of Baers say works. I am not a Baer owner, but they do have the noisiest group of owners on our forums and they are all a really happy lot of 1911 owners, you almost never hear of functioning problems or dust cover rubs. The only reasons I don't own a Baer is because I have a Horsey ( I really like Colt's) problem and I am price resistant to a pistol that costs in the $1500 range or more. But if you believe what is written about Baers here by their owners (I admit, I do trust them) a Baer is a good pistol and it seems they are worth the extra money you have to plunk down to own one.

    Welcome to the forum.

    Your P2 does have the adjustable sights doesn't it?
    Using a screwdriver with a blade that fits each adjustment screw properly you shouldn't have any problem.

    Lynnie, in her wisdom, makes a great but often overlooked point.
    PLEASE buy a nice set of screwdrivers that fit the screws on your gun. You won't necessarily by glad that you DID, but I assure you, you will be mad at yourself eventually if you DIDN'T.

    +1, from someone who DIDN'T!

    Brownell's has drivers and bits both individually and in sets that I recommend. They work great. Theirs is one of the best quality sets available.
