Good rear sight pusher?

[Jstudz220]

I’m looking for a good rear sight pusher mainly for Glocks but wouldn’t mind the ability to also be able to use one with other firearms.

Can anyone recommend a good one that will do what it’s supposed to do and last without breaking the bank too much?

I’ve used a brass punches in the past but figured i should probably invest in the proper tool.

I have the Real Avid Master sight pusher, which works on just about anything. I use the MGW Glock one 99% of the time.

I have used the MGW on Glocks several hundred times and it still works like new.
I also have the adapter for the slim frame models.

Thanks for the responses. So the MGW is the one Glock actually recommends in their armors course according to what I just read. I will likely go with the MGW but am tempted to try the real avid one just to be able to use it on a wider variety of firearms.


Edit: wow I just watched a review on the real avid master sight pusher. It looks really nice and well built. I may give that one a try instead. Decisions, decisions

The only negative of the Real Avid one, is the amount of adjustments and crap that above the slide makes it really dark in the area you need to monitor for sight engagement by the pusher, and then subsequently the alignment of the rear sight in exactly the center. I use a small flashlight to point in there when I use it. It uses four independent holders on the sides of the slide to center it and hold it from moving. Once you put the rear sight in, to check for perfect alignment you have to unscrew them all (and the top one that pushes down) to bring the slide back out of the device to see it from the top. The MGW unit is just one screw and it releases, you pull it out, inspect it, and slide it back in for more adjustment.

I have both the MGW slant side and straight side for Glock. I made a wood block to use with the G43 before there was an adaptor (or before I saw it). The straight side is useful for the larger adjustable Dawson sights. Can't go wrong with these as long as all you need is Glock fit.

I’ve used this one a lot and it works fine.

That doesn’t look bad at first glance. How’s it built? Does it seem sturdy and like it’s built to last?

I’ve had mine going on 5 years. I’ve used it quite a bit and also loaned it to friends and coworkers. It has always performed well and I’ve had no issues with it.

+1 for the MGW pusher for Glocks.

MGW.

I've use this a few times on my p80 build. It does the job.

For the front sight, I used my bench grinder to make the OD of a nut driver smaller (harbor freight) to fit.

I have a MGW Range Master that’s worked well for me but after using the Wheeler I wound up buying one. Very precise. Looks a little over the top at first but there’s zero struggle doing front or rear on anything dovetail.

I've got that exact one that I don't need anymore (impulse bought the Wheeler one Mag just referenced a couple months back). Been using the Vism one for years and it works awesome. I'll trade you for a couple boxes of ammo or something like that if you want it.

I had a chance to handle one of the Wheeler Sight Pushers. That thing is a beast. I can imagine it not being able to handle any dove tail sight job.

Had a guy bring me one of the old Jericho 9mm pistols a while back that had a badly buggered up sight and he and another buddy had tried everything to drift it out, including a brass punch and mallet after failing with a poorly fitting sight tool. The wheeler made an easy job of it. So much so that I kind of doubted that they’d been pushing it the right direction… which he swore was not true, but there were marks on both sides of the sight so…

I did not know sights had to pushed out and put in a certain direction. I hope I didnt mess anything up I own.

MOST want to be pushed OUT from the left to the right. Right side being the ejection port side of a hand gun, usually!
