this item isn't perfect, but my buddy and I have managed to use it on a lot of different pistols and we always seem to get it to work on rear sights, sometimes front ones too.
great deal for the price and once you factor shipping someone else's back and forth, you might just want to buy this one instead. NCSTAR SIGHT PUSHER also at Midway with free shipping https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1019396518 |

I haven’t found a gun yet that needs a sight pusher. I gave up using one years ago.
A vice, good hammer, and aluminum rod with a taped end is all I use. |

I have bent punches before on rear sights... so all depends how many guns you work on. This is right way to do it and that tool I posted it works great. not to mention works good for fine adjustments.

Banging on night sights will kill most vials. Good luck getting XD sights off. A pusher AND a Hammer are needed.
I invested in an MGW, including every slide shoe they make. Cost me about $1500. Of course, I've recouped the cost with installations. Well worth it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ha, XDs are the only sights I won’t work on, I swear they heat the slide and chill the sight then use some invisible thread lock. I’ve bent a sight pusher trying to get them off. |

I've got a pretty nice rear sight pusher, and it kills me that I've used it twice and now it just sits there, so if you or anyone else wants to use it I'm at Ray and Ellsworth.
Just email me or PM me through the site. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I broke a couple vials in night sights using this method. They last less than 24 hours after they crack. Not recommended. Having installed dozens of night sights with this method it is the technique that matters. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
My buddy bought it and we pass it back and forth as needed... Once you have one in a circle of friends it gets used all the time, the trick is getting one of your friends to buy it. Since my buddy is always at my place using my tools, it all evens out. Quote HistoryQuoted:
