Review: Sight-Pusher Pro

[glocktoys]

ok i purchased one of these off ebay and seller sells on auctionarms too. first off, seller is great with communication and shipped quick. this is a screw set with a piece that moves tide to side to press the site (out orto adjust). it is well made and worked fine for several sites and guns i tried (some needed sites installed and others i just tried to use). it works for rear sites (remove slide and barrel and spring) and just use a spacer (one comes with it and i told him i was using it on several guns and what ones and he added some spacers too). i used it on a glock 21 (installed night sites),glock 17 (installed truglow tfo fiber optic/night sites), s&w m&p (put fiber optic sites truglow on), sig 226 and 200 (gust removed rear sites and adjusted them), h&k usp tactical (site replacement for night stes). worked great on all of them, just keep some coins or and Popsicle sticks (for angled slides) around for use. i hhave used the sig and glock site tools and they are easier (dont need to shim slide) but need one for each kind of gun and this works with all of them.

it has a block on the back with a thumb screw to hold the slide (blocks that hold slide in place have felt on them but plan to use some leather hot glued if they ware out). easy to use and instructions included and has one side for angles sites (glock and h&k and the m&p have these) the other side of the site mover is flat (for normal sites). you just remove the one nut and unscrew the site pusher and flip it over. easy to use and worked on all the guns. at around $55 it is worth it and i used a wrench for the adjustments but a socket would work too but i wanted to be able to feel if it bound on anything rather than damaging a slide or site. the sellers name is

that's interesting as it holds the slide from the side, which lets you use it for various hanguns. Pretty nifty.

Something not right

It appears from your pics that you are removing the sights in the wrong direction. When looking down the slide they should be removed left to right.

That being said appears to be a good tool

I have one from what I believe to be the same source - I concur with the review. Also agree with Simon's point about left to right. At least for the Kahr's I've done (several) it was that way

i put the new sites in on from the right side but when i looked online the glock and s&w's said either side was fine and did remove the sig and h&k's from the right (pressed from left side to the right side). i did not plan to keep the glock site and it is kinda pita to unscrew the pusher and flip it put it back on and then take it off to flip it to put the site back on too

I can tell you that when it comes to the Smith sights it is much easier to capture the spring and disk under the sight by going for the left to right.

I am a Smith Armorer for the M&P line and they teach during the class to remove from left to right.

i never did s&w sites before but this pusher caught the spring and disk till i covered it with my finger too.

concise, informative review

I just read your review of the sight pusher pro, and was pleased with it. The tools seems very useful, and I like that you provided a dependable dealer.

I have an older version of this and I love it. It has worked for a bunch of guns and paid for its self.

just saw the great review. my question is it idiot proof? I'm all thumbs

I've been looking at this skeptically as I prep to cerakote a few handguns. Looks like a quality tool. Thanks for the unbiased review!
