Reading about handgun sight tools is like reading about the best television.

Does anyone have a sight tool pick that is clearly above and beyond others?  I’d like to “buy once and cry once”

I prefer universal but I know this may have some draw backs.

I use this and it has served me well. Just have to make sure and really tape up the slide.

Amazon Product
  • Handgun sight tool designed to install, un-install or adjust front and rear dovetail sights and works on all semi auto pistols
  • Precision machined unit with large 4 post drive knob to easily push the sight
  • Fully captures and supports slide so it won't deform

I've used this one for Glock, hi power, and 1911.  Works good enough for me and was inexpensive.

I just bought one of these the other day. It's great. Really nice for the price. It works way better than a hammer and punch

I've got an MGW PRO.  High dollar, but works really well.

This one looks interesting.

Give Fisher Sight Solutions a look.    Ive used mine on SIG and HK USP so far All good.  I got the premium kit with blocks to shim up about any slide.  Very well built.  Life long tool.

Been looking at this tool as well. The complete kit with all the shim blocks is around $93

There is no longer a website for this company and Amazon shows "unavailable".

I bought a MGW Range Master for use in Afghanistan.  6 months later company bought them for us too.  Not something I like lugging around to the teams but keep in the shop.

That's what I use.  Works well but wrap the slide in leather shims or wrap a business card around it to protect the finish.  I also put the slide and sight in the freezer for about an hour beforehand and it makes it easier.
