I ended up purchasing the MGW Pro. I got it on sale at Brownell's on one of their holiday sales. It was still expensive at 249 including shipping. But it is a lifetime investment. And the Pro can be used on any weapon with the purchase of the specific "shoe," for about $20 each. I think MGW is fantastic quality. Cameron, you will pass that sight pusher on to your son(s).
I went with the XS Big Dot sights which comes with a plastic punch tool. It works like a charm and as long as you go easy with it you wont damage your sights (and you save a hundred bucks which will buy you a second set of sights. I could see buying this if you're doing this on a lot of glocks but I can't see spending the money on a handful of glocks
I also have a set of XS Big Dot sights (seen on the G20 in the vid). The difference is that the rear sight is locked into the dovetail with a pair of set screws, so there is no need to use much force at all. I was an early adopter of the Big Dot sights and initially thought they were great. That was fine until I raised my expectation of my personal marksmanship, and I find them not so good for that. As you will see soon, I find the I-Dots a happy marriage of the Big Dot and standard sights.
I got one of these from Midway; was on back order. A real beefy tool, makes install and removal a snap with zero chance of marring the slide or sights. Worth every penny.
Many people just put the nose of the slide in a vise to use the MGW tool, but as you saw in the vid, I was able to use it with "only" two hands while hugging a camera on a tripod. :)
The XD's factory rear sight is pressed in too tightly, but replacement sights should be fitted to the slide so you don't need too much pressure to install them. I don't know what Springfield's deal is, but they are known for this.
Yeah... I should have stated for quick target acquisition in a self defense role the XS Big Dot's are great. If you're looking for a sight for marksmanship/ target practice then I'd go with another brand. I love the HIGH Quality videos you produce! Keep up the awesome job!
The funny thing is that my range also has one, but the gunsmith keeps "borrowing" it because it is so good. This is the kind of tool you will really need to keep your eye on- it will tempt the most honest of Glock owners. :)
The problem with the one I used was that the adjustment threads were a bit goobered, so I couldn't lock the Glock slide in place. As I turned the sight pusher, the slide twisted in the tool. It might have worked brand new, but regardless, the one I used was no where near as well-built as the MGW tool.
This will still dent the plastic sight on a slide with tight tolerances. Keep an eye on it and if it feels too tight a little filing with the correct file and a little oil might do the trick. I speak from experience and some have a very tight tolerance.
Thanks for sharing. If instead of the u shaped tool, they had a single bit, one side angled and one side flat, you could use this for flat and angled sights.
Never used a sight tool. Put sights on many Glocks(10-20). Used a small punch hammer with rubber end. Never messed up 1 sight. Just marked center before I took off and is easy to find when new one comes on. A tad of lube on the channel before re-installation. All have been tritium sights. I have never had one shift or break. If you pay that much for a sight pusher, I have something to sale you!! Just have to be patient and go slow.
You're exactly spot on with this site pusher and how well it works and fits. I can tell you this though. I bought the one " specifically made for the S&W M&P for my 9mm regular and used this model just 2 days ago to install the rear site on my Glock 19 Gen 4. Can't say it works on all Glock models, but it works on the 19.
Great video...going to just break down and buy one of these as the hammer and punch method is a pain in the rear and is not the way I want to treat my gun. I called several gunsmith's and most did not want to do it. I found one in my area that did and he said it would take 6-10 weeks. I live in gun friendly Texas...you would think getting sights changed out by a gunsmith would be cheap, with a quick turnaround.
It's always just a click away in the video description. Price on some of these tools vary so wildly, and these videos will be there for years to come, so I've gone to linking to the info rather than giving info with an expiration date. Thanks for watching!
Great tool for the Warren Sights and the Taran Tactical Sights with flat side edges..Found them on Midway USA and Brownells. Info from Taran Butler Tactical
The tool shown is for Glock sights only as it has the slanted sides that match up to the Glock sight side profile. If replacing Glock sights with anything else, get the other tool with the straight sides so you don't damage the new sights as you install them - since you are throwing away those crappy old Glock sights anyway. Oil the threads as noted or it will bind and gall the threads.
Aftermarket sights vary greatly in shape. There is no one-size-fits-all sight pusher. However, I've lost count as to how many sights I've installed with this, and I've never had a problem. You don't need full contact with the jig to push a properly-fitted rear sight into the dovetail. Thanks for watching!
Let me get this right, an expensive sight tool is needed because tapping the rear sight in with a punch may break the Tridium tube but the massive recoil during rapid fire won't.????
Stupid comment. Do you really need someone to explain that the energy of recoil doesn't transfer to the sights themselves? You're directly transferring energy to the sight with a brass or even plastic punch. Not only that, but the punch is practically resting right against the tritium vial. Also, you've obviously never tried doing this with a punch, otherwise you'd know how much force is required to fit some sights, not just a "tap".
Great vid and tool. I would rather use the "push" action of this tool whether installing it removing the sight as it's much easier for the tool abd to crank that T-handle for a push/tightening action.
I have been watching your videos for a while.... I really like them there very informative an easy to understand... I'm the owner of a gun shop in West Virginia... I may have to get one of those tools for my store.... I've been using a vice and some drift punches.... but that looks much easier.... keep up the good work
Gunsmith tools aren't cheap, and considering gunsmiths charge at least $25 to install one set of sights, I'd say $100 for a tool as well built as this that makes installing unlimited sights a breeze within a matter of seconds, is well worth it. Obviously if you only want ONE set of sights installed, then by all means, take it to a gun shop and pay to have it done and hope they don't use a hammer and punch to try and install them and break your tritium vials.
Did you use this tool to install the AmeriGlo sights? I am looking at the same system you mentioned in an earlier vid for my G17 and was looking at this same tool. If so, did you have to do any filing?
I did use this for the Pro I-Dots, and I didn't need to do any filing. That's not to say that you won't- it has to do with the tolerance stacking of your particular slide and rear sight.
I'm not so sure that putting that kind of pressure on your frame rails sideways is an okay thing to do. Frame rails aren't designed for side-to-side force. I think I'd rather that the pressure be distributed evenly on the entire side of the frame. It shouldn't be so hard to do that without marring the side of the frame. Just pad it with a bit of covering of some sort --- leather, moleskin, plastic, whatever. I think if I were going to use this tool, I'd add a DYI support block of some sort to fit between the slide frame and the inner wall of the pusher frame.
TWANG, I doubt that. The forces of pressure on the slide in cycling are backward and forward, not side to side. There is very little pressure on the slide side to side as it cycles. Plus, the forces of pressure on the grooves and lips of the groves in the slide are so slight that they don't even require any large amount of oil. In fact, they will fully function just fine without being oiled at all. The grooves in the slide are intended to guide the slide as it moves backward and forward and to keep the slide from popping off upward. The bottom lips of the groove that hold the slide in place and keep it from popping off upward are very thin, and they can so be thin simply because they don't get a great deal of pressure.
You should think harder about how a tilt barrel action works and the direction of the stresses involved. Regardless, this product has been out for many years and is in heavy use in gun shops around the country. Your thought experiments don’t trump real world lack of issues.
Is that removable shim to do 45ACP Glocks included, or is it an aftermarket item? None of the ones I see for sale say it comes with it, or even mention it's available.
This is 100 dollars plus shipping fro CTD and you use it once. i just finished watching your video on the extractor you use every time you shoot and 100 dollars was to much???? i like your page and am going to use the IDOT sight because of your review but that does not make sense to me.
Barry Newman I feel that paying for an extractor that does the same thing as one that is free is not a good purchase. However, I and many shooters do NOT use a sight tool only once, and this is who I would expect to be interested in the MGW. Plus, it gives you an easy way to drift your rear sight at the range to zero. If you're only ever going to install one rear sight in your life, pay a gunsmith to do it, or take the risk of damaging the sight with a drift punch. Many successfully install rear sights this way every day.
+Barry Newman I bought a "Universal Sight Pusher" that ended up to be total crap and a waste of $100. I bought a MGW Sight Pusher for Glock pistols for around $100 and changed out the rear sights to a Glock 17, 19, 23, 26 (two different firearms), and 36. In around 12 years I'll do it all over again considering the degradation of the Tritium in the sights. For my situation this MGW tool was an excellent investment and I'm glad I did it.
i have a G21sf and i used the punch method with some trijicon night sight's and it took me less than 20 minutes to do the front and rear install carefully and with good mechanical zero. and then tested them at the range and i was getting head shots on the paper at 35 yards. consistently. so u can do a glcok sight installation easily without the fancy stuff.
IF You use the hammer and punch method....You WILL break or loosen a tritium vial...Believe me. Several shooting buddies and I bought one of the MGW pushers and the various adapters we may need. My donation was like $40. Install two sights and your money ahead.
"This is 100 dollars plus shipping fro CTD and you use it once" If you're talking about cheaper than dirt, they're lower than garbage. After they sold us out there only last use was their donation to the 2AF, which wasn't enough to give me amnesia. I hope our culture puts them out on the curb as a lesson and as a message. I was a prior customer. No longer. "...and you use it once" I think this is missing an IF. I've rarely met shooters who actually spend time training on the range that don't change their aftermarket sights TWICE or more. When you combine that at $20-30 each gun, each swap, then if you carry a back up gun, if your wife carries a gun, etc. etc. it makes sense for most people. Not trying to be a jerk / my 2c.
Are you drinking or replying to the wrong person? None of your replies make any sense. I purchased this product and tried using it to install brand new OEM rear sights as advertised. One after another was destroyed by using it as directed. Not sure where you got that I reused any sights, or what you don't have a use for.
Ahhhh... I see now. You weren’t clear that you were describing your personal experience versus commenting on what you saw in the video. Reread this thread, and you’ll see what I mean.
Get the MGW Rear Sight Tool here: amzn.to/2S9xg9N
it is still made in usa!
I struggled with a cheapo sight tool for several years until I got one of these. What a difference! It’s the only way to go. Thanks for the vid sir.
I ended up purchasing the MGW Pro. I got it on sale at Brownell's on one of their holiday sales. It was still expensive at 249 including shipping. But it is a lifetime investment. And the Pro can be used on any weapon with the purchase of the specific "shoe," for about $20 each. I think MGW is fantastic quality. Cameron, you will pass that sight pusher on to your son(s).
I went with the XS Big Dot sights which comes with a plastic punch tool.

Yeah... I should have stated for quick target acquisition in a self defense role the XS Big Dot's are great. If you're looking for a sight for marksmanship/ target practice then I'd go with another brand.
I love the HIGH Quality videos you produce! Keep up the awesome job!

You will love using this tool and wonder why you didn't get it sooner.

Can't say it works on all Glock models, but it works on the 19.
They do sell the slide mount for the slimline models separately. I had to make it work on the gen 5 40cal fat slides
No question this is an investment tool and not a one-use tool. That said, these do seem to resell for close to retail.
Great video...going to just break down and buy one of these as the hammer and punch method is a pain in the rear and is not the way I want to treat my gun. I called several gunsmith's and most did not want to do it. I found one in my area that did and he said it would take 6-10 weeks. I live in gun friendly Texas...you would think getting sights changed out by a gunsmith would be cheap, with a quick turnaround.
Travis Kibel You won't regret it. You'll be able to adjust your sights after installation, too.
Yea, that is a big plus to me as well. I want something that I can have on hand to drift my sights or change them out at will.
I am going that route too
It's always just a click away in the video description. Price on some of these tools vary so wildly, and these videos will be there for years to come, so I've gone to linking to the info rather than giving info with an expiration date. Thanks for watching!
Glad you liked the video!
The sad irony is that this is a better tool than the one Glock makes.
I Roger that.
It’s not even close - the Glock tool is a joke
Listing a price range is always helpful. Other than that...nice...informative and quick. Liked
I got the same sight tool for my Springfield XD, man was that a pain to change! The tool bent slightly, but held up!! Works for me!
Great tool for the Warren Sights and the Taran Tactical Sights with flat side edges..Found them on Midway USA and Brownells. Info from Taran Butler Tactical

Love mine, have had it for years. If you own GLOCKs, you need one of these.
Your GLOCK buddies will want to borrow it!
Michael Vician can I borrow yours? instead of just getting one..... GLOCK buddy (:
I own every sight tool they make. and Ive modified a couple to use on other guns.
I have been watching your videos for a while.... I really like them there very informative an easy to understand... I'm the owner of a gun shop in West Virginia... I may have to get one of those tools for my store.... I've been using a vice and some drift punches.... but that looks much easier.... keep up the good work
Great video as always, wish I would have watched this a week ago before letting my LGS damage a new pair of Trijicon HDs while installing them...
Bryan Powell That stinks.
I have to admit, I'm a hammer and punch guy. I've tried those sight tools, but they require three hands and I'm only equipped with two.
Awesome! This channel will have those types of videos here and there, for sure. Thanks for watching!
100 is way too much for that kinda thing should be 50 or less
Think that's expensive, they make a universal model for $300 and inserts for specific models for around $50.
Gunsmith tools aren't cheap, and considering gunsmiths charge at least $25 to install one set of sights, I'd say $100 for a tool as well built as this that makes installing unlimited sights a breeze within a matter of seconds, is well worth it. Obviously if you only want ONE set of sights installed, then by all means, take it to a gun shop and pay to have it done and hope they don't use a hammer and punch to try and install them and break your tritium vials.
Good, quality tools cost $... For any tools you intend on needing & using for along time, such is life.
Did you use this tool to install the AmeriGlo sights? I am looking at the same system you mentioned in an earlier vid for my G17 and was looking at this same tool.

It looks like it won't do the glock 42&43 am i correct?
Thank you ..great video
This tool is the same one that works on Beretta 92 but with Glock adapters. They work well.
Another great video. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching!
Great video. I liked how concise and informative it was
morninglattes Thanks so much!
Will this work on a 105mm Howitzer?
devwreck127
I made those....try a 155mm 549 works like a champ.
Yes.
Don't use a punch and hammer.. use a wooden dowel rod and a hammer.. I put in about 10 a week that way...
And where do you work, so I know not to have you install any for me...
Just used this tool today to instal trijjicon hd xr worked great
Awesome!
I've had really good luck with my universal sight tool, if I ever want to upgrade I will look to MGW first though.
Heyyyyyy, that's better than the vice. I'm gonna try that instead.
I'm not so sure that putting that kind of pressure on your frame rails sideways is an okay thing to do. Frame rails aren't designed for side-to-side force. I think I'd rather that the pressure be distributed evenly on the entire side of the frame. It shouldn't be so hard to do that without marring the side of the frame.

I think if I were going to use this tool, I'd add a DYI support block of some sort to fit between the slide frame and the inner wall of the pusher frame.
The forces of a cycling firearm are waaaaayyyyy beyond those of this sight pusher. I have never, ever heard of frame rails getting damaged by one.
TWANG, I doubt that. The forces of pressure on the slide in cycling are backward and forward, not side to side. There is very little pressure on the slide side to side as it cycles. Plus, the forces of pressure on the grooves and lips of the groves in the slide are so slight that they don't even require any large amount of oil.

The bottom lips of the groove that hold the slide in place and keep it from popping off upward are very thin, and they can so be thin simply because they don't get a great deal of pressure.
Can this be used with a Gen 5 MOS with an ACRO installed?
I'd be afraid of tweaking the frame rails by using this clamping method. My understanding is that some sights put up quite a fight, coming n going.
The frame rails see much more stress during cycling. I’ve never heard of them being damaged by this tool. Thanks for watching!
Thanks, but I dunno... Cycling loads along the length of the rails, not directly from the side :-/
You should think harder about how a tilt barrel action works and the direction of the stresses involved. Regardless, this product has been out for many years and is in heavy use in gun shops around the country. Your thought experiments don’t trump real world lack of issues.
Sheesh... A simple "Sorry friend, but you're mistaken" woulda been just fine.
That was my first response, but you persisted. ;)
How much is this tool? Where can it be purchased? Thanks
+chgofirefighter It's in the video description as promised m
Have you used this tool for the Vickers Elite Battlesights by Wilson Combat? If so did you have any problems with it?
Does this fit for suppressor sights?
Love to learn :) i am getting lisence for gun in closest years :) i would be glad, to see more of your videos about gun care and ammonition :)
Is that removable shim to do 45ACP Glocks included, or is it an aftermarket item? None of the ones I see for sale say it comes with it, or even mention it's available.
Yes, shim is included.

Excellent.
Great video review. Thanks for posting.
I need 1 for sig p226
Sadly I have some deadringer snake eye sights on my g23 and have not found anything yet that will work as far as sight pushers go :/ great vid
That's an interesting rear sight. Do you like it?
It works like a charm, just need a tool to fine tune it lol plus I'm practicing the c.a.r. system so they really help with aiming
Nice Video thanks for the information. I love the background.
thanks for the info!
You bet!
great video
I have thier M&P sight tool... Great stuff
If you get one, you'll make lots of friends, though. :)
Have you use this for a Glock 21?
Will this work on the Glock 36, or 30S that use the narrower slide?
I had to get an adaptor from Brownells to mount the sights on my G43
Would it work for the Ashley Express Big dot rear sights?
Does it work down to a Glock 42?
It will not work on the Glock 21.
i have a G21sf and i used the punch method with some trijicon night sight's and it took me less than 20 minutes to do the front and rear install carefully and with good mechanical zero. and then tested them at the range and i was getting head shots on the paper at 35 yards. consistently. so u can do a glcok sight installation easily without the fancy stuff.
I became frustrated with it. I traded it for a Colt Gold Cup. The Glock was accurate but I found the Gold Cup superior.
IF You use the hammer and punch method....You WILL break or loosen a tritium vial...Believe me. Several shooting buddies and I bought one of the MGW pushers and the various adapters we may need. My donation was like $40. Install two sights and your money ahead.
Even more useful...The MGW allows you to precisely adjust the sights. Need .010" to the left? It's easily accomplished.
Great vid!
Thanks, Tony!
VERY SMALL COMPARED TO BERETTAS HUGE CHEETA KN 32 OR 380 WITH 4 INCH BARRELS SO STOP CRYING EVERYONE GEZZZ ITS TINY
At least the money is staying in America though.
Will this work for meprolight night sites ?

Lol, universal piece of garbage, that's classic. Love it.
Garbage. Has destroyed two factory polymer rear sights. Better off using a punch
The factory polymer rear sight should never be reused no matter how you remove it.
TWANGnBANG they were both brand new rear sights.
...neither of which I’ll ever have a use for.

OVERKILL......WHAT A WASTE OF GREEN STAMPS.
Where is this AmeriGlo sight pusher available? they certainly aren't available on Amazon
Will this work on a g42 and g43?
with an adapter
What type of adapter?
www.midwayusa.com/product/326194/mgw-rear-sight-tool-glock-42-43-adapter-kit@@jamesrice8560
Great video,, thanks
Will it work on MP Shield?
Does this work with suppressor sights ?
Not designed for it, but it will depend on the height and profile of the rear sight. I have none to try for you, though.
Yes. Make sure it is the version for angled sights.
Does this work when putting in xs big dot?
