sight pushers(dovetail sight replacement tools).

[Sidneyious]

So got a new gen 5 and ive seen everything from using a brass punch to a 500$ c clamp.
I also plan on replacing the sights on my gen 4 and im actually wiling to spend for a sight replacement tool.

Your choice?
something you wish you paid fore?
something you should have got because it was cheap as **** and was worth it?

MGW or truglo (they’re basically the same design).

I’ve owned both versions of the MGW, still own and use the ‘Rangemaster’ model, great tools.

dawson precision includes a punch when you purchase sight’s with them. I use cardboard and a vice to make it work without marring the gun or the sight. If you don’t have a vice and are not handy with tools a sight pusher is good but I can’t recommend one I’ve never used any.

MGW for the absolute WIN! Plus a heavy duty, well mounted bench vise

I've been using a MGW for years, makes it simple.

I started off with some cheap-ass sight pusher off of amazon. got great reviews, but in my mind, meh. worked okay for slab-sided Glocks.

what really did it, was some pistols nowadays have slanted side profiles, so I tried 2 other brands, each getting more expensive than the previous. unsat performance. Finally, I bit the bullet and got the MGW along with a slew of adapters for all the pistols I owned. It is the quality tool I should've bought from the start, but I just didn't know any better.

I took the old cheaper tools to the range and gave them all to a buddy, wow, did I make him happy. no sense in that shit cluttering up my already tight work, storage spaces.

I like my locally-owned manufacturer. Good tools and good guy. Assuming he's still alive and in business. https://sightpushertool.com/

I use the MGW Sight Pro, not the "cheapest" but great "bang for the buck" with the interchangeable shoes for the different slides. Worth a look & the investment IMO.

I would like to 100% agree with your post, but I've marred the shit out of the sight. I'm not the most gentle of people at times.
