I just got two sets of Trijicons for my Glocks (19 and 33). Does anyone in metro Detroit have a rear pusher and front tool for Glocks that I could rent or borrow? Please let me know if you have them or know someplace that does.
I put on a few sight sets on glocks with just a nut driver from home depot and a brass punch and hammer. No issues at all doing so, just gotta be carefull with the rear sight. Take you time if you try it.

I didn't even think of that. Someone told me to just use a flathead screwdriver to drive out the rear sight, your idea is much better. Does the rear sight need to be driven in or out in a certain direction? Thanks for the help!
It really shouldn't matter what way you drift the existing rear sight out, they are super soft. When you put your new rear in test fit from both sides, which ever way goes in easier or further start there. You may need to file a little material of the bottom of the new rear sight. GO SLOW. Fit it so the rear sight will go into the dovetail about 1/4-1/2 way, then start with the hammer and punch. I usually put a little blue locktite around the new rear sight/ dovetail and on the set set screw (if there is one) once I am happy with the alignment of the rear set. If you do this let the locktite "soak in" for a couple of minutes then wipe any extra off with a rag or q-tip.
Once you have everything laid out, it shouldn't may take more than 1/2 hour to get your new sights on.
What brand(type) night sights are you using?
Any other questions let me know
Good luck.
