Solid piece of gear –
Very intuitive and well built. I’d recommend this to anyone. I’ve used it on a P320 and 1911 without issue. This is an absolute necessity for anyone with dovetail sights and wants to shoot straight.

I’m a novice and wanted to upgrade sights on my collection. Not to save money (as this tool isn’t cheap), but to have some pride in workmanship and fun with it. All three were a breeze. I think the feature that makes this work better than others is the angle-matching pads that hold the slide in place. No special pads to order. The circular metal pads float on a ball hinge that conforms to angles and bevels. I wrapped all 5 with a cleaning patch and no marks left when complete. Lyman really learned the lessons of the others and got the recipe right. My projects: 1) Springfield XD-M in 10mm, 2) Beretta PX4 Storm full size, 3) CZ 2075 RAMI. Other than this pusher, a few hours soaking in Kroil may have helped.

In short I like this tool, it’s worth the money and the time it takes to learn to use it. I like a big fat orange front sight. If you’re like me and like to change out factory sights it is well worth your money. It’s light years easier than a hammer and punchOne caveat; When working with rear sights that extend to the rear of the slide, such as those on S&W M&P pistols, be mindful of where you engage the rear sight. Get it as close as you can to the dovetail, not the highest portion of the rear sight. The tool provides plenty of adjustment to achieve the correct position. I really struggled with the 1st sight, I had to use way too much pressure. At least my common sense finally kicked in. I removed the slide from the tool and noted the rear sight was cocked in the dovetail. Repositioning the unit as I stated above and the sight came right out.

I just got this sight pusher today and it's already broke on me. I was able to put some Glock 19 tru glow rear sights on with little to no issue and even removed the front sight of the Beretta APX Centurion without incident. However, after getting the new Trijicon HD front sight about 3/4s of the way in the top of the screw holding the adjusting shaft broke leaving the sight pusher useless. 1/10, do not recommend at all and hate that I wasted my money on this.
