Site News Could You Have Stopped This? Vegas Shooting Analysis with Attorneys on Retainer
9/24/2008 3:56:04 AM EDT
I purchased my first Glock (G19) a couple weeks ago and in taking it to the "range" I've noticed that the sites are a bit off, which I would like to correct.

I've seen the site adjustment tools on the various sponsor sites, the cheapest being around $90, but I can't see spending that to be used once then set aside.  Is there a alternative solution?  Cheaper adjustment tool?  Flathead screwdriver & hammer?

Any input would help.  
Thanks in advance.

A wooden dowel and a soft face mallet works great for the factory plastic sights...

I just sold an almost brand new MGW adjustment tool.  Why?

Because it wasn't really necessary...

The sight tool isn't "necessary", but it sure makes sight adjustments a lot easier.  I'd own one myself for my 10 Glocks, but I borrow the one from the shop every time I buy another Glock or swap sights.

I use a Nylon punch and hammer , works great and it is a lot cheaper than the tool

As stated above there are various ways to adjust the sights.  I put the slide in a vise between two peices wood and tap the sights with a brass punch with a piece of old leather belt between the punch and sights so it doesnt mar.

Thanks guys, this should do the trick.

Hold the slide in your hand.  Whack the site from the side with the plastic/nylon handle of a screwdriver.    I wouldn't recommend doing this with tritium sights, though.
