Quoted: Just got a 92X and put about 500 rounds through it, wonderful shooter but the sights are slightly off. Easy fix right? I have a sight pusher so I will just scoot it over a mm and should be good to go. Yeah, right. Pusher won't move it... Big ass hammer and vice won't move it, just deformed the brass punch. Before I resort to a steel punch and mini sledge or cutting the sights out, does anyone have any hints? There is no need for this crap, manufacturers should know better. Heat it up before try to move it |

I had to take mine to a gunsmith to push the rear sight a bit one way.

Are you sure it doesn’t have a tiny set screw in the top?

The front sight and slide are the same piece. As in made together.

This is a 92X, both are dovetailed. Rear sight is the main issue. Probably going to just buy a new set of sights and take it to a gunsmith. This is just stupid. Wouldn't even move with the vice, big hammer, and steel punch.

Might have a drop of locktight under it. Try heat?

Gently heat the slide/sight base and put a couple drops of penetrating oil on while warm, the heat will draw in the oil and loosen any loctite under the base.

I've had to use sight pushers on all my Beretta's. Some are really really tight even with a pusher. All of my Berettas have gone on left to right fyi if you do decide to remove it.

The MGW pusher will get it done.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The MGW pusher will get it done. Truth right here. Wasted many brass punches, "universal sight pushers" and ruined many sights before I went with the MGW tool specific to the beretta, no problems anymore. Imagine all that time and money that I could have saved.... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The MGW pusher will get it done. I have the tool. There are some special models from certain years that are still just too much to get started. |
