I recently bought a sight pusher for a GLOCK 17 to drift out a standard rear sight and install a new Ameriglo replacement. The tool was an MGW309 GLOCK Sight Adjustment Tool, Brownells #584-045-017, for $117. All good, no complaints.
But I also had an H&K HK45 in house whose night sights needed to come off in favor of some suppressor-height sights. The GLOCK sight pusher wouldn’t fit, and I didn’t want to spend another $100+ dollars for a speciality sight pusher for the one-time job. I don’t like to use a punch for night sights because it can damage the lamps.
So I came to SHOT Show 2020 looking for a more universal, affordable solution, and may have found it.
I handled the 4th generation of the Universal Field Sight Pusher by RST (short for Rear Sight Tool), which changes the dovetail sights on handguns, both front and rear. It’s also compact enough to fit in a range bag pocket. Even better, it can drift-adjust sights at the range without disassembling the slide.
The hardened alloy-steel pushing heads allow the tool to fit different sight profiles and move them efficiently. Adapters allow the tool to be attached to the slide without marring. Different hard-polymer adapters allow the tool to work on specific models of popular brands, and more are coming:
