Get a sight tool or go to a gunsmith. The OEM steel rear sight is a tight fit.
FWIW, a tool is a requirement for Ameriglo steels and any tritium sight. |

I have seen a lot of tools offered for this job. What is the best tool (best value) and where to get it?

Glocks are probably the easiest gun on the planet to change the sights. A vice and a derlin or brass punch is all you need. I see no need to spend the money on a rear sight tool for a one time use. Springfield XD's are another story.

This. Maybe if you have to adjust them a little you could use the drift, hell, I used a small brass hammer and you can't tell. But totally changing them out, get the tool. Quote HistoryQuoted:
