| I've got a few Sigs that need new night sights, and a couple other pistols I'd like to add them to. How hard is swapping them out, and does it require any special tools? Is it better to just take it to a smith? |

Is it better to just take it to a smith? High quality sight pusher and some kind of vise, oh and cloth/towels as not to scratch the slide. Most sight pushers are 500-600 bucks. The cheap ones will mar your guns. |

I've done several Glocks and 2 Sigs with a punch and a hammer.....I bought the MGW Glock tool awhile back, its worth the money even though it spends most of its time a drawer, especially if you're doing several guns.
I've done 4 Glocks now with the MGW tool, its easy and I haven't scratched anything, didn't even rub the painted letters off the side of the sights. |

Here's the one for Sig. You can find them used for a lot cheaper

I use this one and have changed 50 or more pistols out with it.
I bought the universal kit but have never needed the part that holds the slide down. http://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/sight-scope-installation-tools/sight-movers/p500-universal-sight-tool-prod17840.aspx |

Is there a universal? I need to do 3 Sigs, two XDs and two M&Ps. Quoted:

I use a Sig for my sigs. Is there a universal? I need to do 3 Sigs, two XDs and two M&Ps. I have this one http://www.sightpusher.com/Handgun-SIght-Tool.html It works great. ETA: I always put a piece of cardboard on the slide between the claps and have never had a mark. |
