Well, I seem to have gotten myself in a bit of a pickle.
I ordered some Trijicon NS for Glock 30. Well they got here this afternoon, and me being my usual impatient and retarded self tried to install them. It didnt go so well. 
I got the front sight on with no issues, but the rear is the issue. I got the stock sight off with a little persuasion from a small hammer, but i dont want to use force on the new sights because everything ive read has said that they break kinda easily. 
Anybody by chance have a Glock sight pusher that I can borrow? Ill pay shipping both ways and put down a deposit if need be. Or if your local in Sitka that would be amazing as well! PLEASE?

| The site is what protects the vials. Not having a sight pusher I would just drift the sight using a small deadblow hammer and a plastic punch (or a soft polymer tipped hammer). Plastic punches are really handy at times. I think the vials are safer than you think, they should be able to take the impact from your pistol being dropped from 3 or 4 feet onto concrete on it's sights and not have the vials break. There is a strict code that determines the minimum amount of metal around the vials, hence the tip of a tritium AR sight cannot be closer to the vial itself. If in doubt, why not contact the sight maker and just ask. |

For what it's worth, I did a set of meprolights into a Glock 23 with a brass punch, didn't damage the sights at all kinda scraped the name off a bit. I have used the sight pusher as well, it is definatly easier and safer and more accurate but for the price I'm not sure if it worth it.
I'd be really surprised if noone in Sitka has one. Haven't lived in Sitka since I was a kid, however surely there has to be a bullitin board or something. |

I don't have one, only AR tools for the most part. But I am curious who you are...... I am a Coastie here in Sitka as well. Send me a PM. |
