Which sight pusher are you using for your Glocks?
I'm needing a recommendation for a quality piece of equipment, not necessarily the most expensive......but quality and price usually move in lockstep. It will be used for Glocks only, so what do you recommend? |

MGW has pretty well established themselves as the king of sight pushers. They're not inexpensive but they're also very high quality and they work very well. +1 Same, used it on all 5 of my Glocks plus for numerous of friends glocks. Has paid for itself and then some

I picked one up from eBay. Its installed a dozen rear sights without a problem. A little tip if you go with this one. I put a piece of weather stripping foam on the pusher to help prevent marring (I scuffed up the sights on my 19) and it worked great.

Im using the Altoll set off ebay..........$65 comes with the pusher (got a flat edge and angled for different sights), wrench, brass tipped punch / front sight tool combo, and a insert for the 42/43 slides as well
I have done about 10 glocks so far, best $65 Ive ever spent instead of $20-30 a pop at the LGS.........takes 5 min to install a set http://www.ebay.com/itm/Glock-Rear-Sight-Pusher-Tool-Kit-Heavy-Duty-Precision-Construction-/172110276933?hash=item2812926945:g:5noAAOSwu4BV0PHi and for $87 you get the same kit above with a second piece for taller suppressor sights http://www.ebay.com/itm/Glock-Universal-Sight-Pusher-Tool-Kit-fits-all-Models-and-Tall-Suppressor-Sights-/172113148253?hash=item2812be395d:g:t2AAAOSwBahVYo6m |
| MGW, Model 309S this one is for straight sided sights, but will also work on the angle type sights like the factory and Meprolight etc. If you use it on angle type sight put a piece of business card between the bar and sight if not it will leave a small mark on the side of the sight. I just got mine and installed 5 sets of sights yesterday in about 1hr cause i had to fit the warren sights to the dovetail.I don't know how i got by with out one before, Best tool for installing and removing sights. |

Used it at least 10 times now. It sure is nice swapping or adjusting sights with my feet up in a La-z-boy or at the range. |
So, I did my own, lined up just like the factory was, slightly off left. Now I realize I need to move it as I am hitting left . I used blue Loctite, and I can't budge it without thinking I will hurt something. I don't want to damage the Meprolight sight. Do the pushers get more power on the sight to move it? Is the basic Meprolight sight strong enough to hold up to an angry brass punch and hammer? I was surprised the finish stayed on the sight during the original install.
