I just did it using a grinding wheel on a cheap drill press, It took barely any time, I am confident it can be done with a Dremel too. Great idea saved me time and money, thanks man!
Dude when I first started playing around with aftermarket stuff on glock that one made me so sad. I was like why is it so far forward. Nothing will fit. Hahaha thank u
that's great. my problem is getting the thing back together. fat finger freddy little tiny F'n screw, my finger is fatter than the slide, magnets to try to start the damn thing, i have a patience level of zero when simple little one minute projects end up taking an hour .. lol.. thanks for the tip, i was hoping it was for putting it back
You know inflation is real when it cost me 3.99 for the socket not 2 bucks lol. All bullshit aside thanks for this, I thought I had a front sight tool, I must've just borrowed one. I had the rear sight already changed and was like fuck..... when I got to the front. Couldn't find my tool so I did what any good person would. Opened UA-cam typed make front sight glock tool lol. Shit worked slick thanks again! Now I know for a fact I have one!
You and I share a lot of the same hobbies it seems. I never expected to see your face on a gun video. God, family, guitars, and guns. That is the basis of Country Music. Now I definitely need to buy you a cup of coffee the next time I am in Nashville.
good job dude, thanks, I like holding the piece in a drill and spinning with the drill, just so don't have to hold it, then easy to sand in the drill as well, good video thanks
I have an idea for a rear sight tool. Requires two pieces of wood with two holes in each for bolts to hold the slide and then a piece with two nuts countersunk with a bolt going through them. Attach ratchet to the bolt and twist away.
Really appreciate that! I’ve been holding off on posting while the channel was under review for monetization. Just got approved, so new videos will be coming out often!
Would a shallow socket and an extention work instead of grinding on a deep socket? I'm new to glock so I'm not sure. Haven't tried to change sights yet.
I’m sure it would, but you would probably have to grind a lot more material away from a regular socket. The deep well socket‘s have that step down so there’s a lot less material out at the end to grind away. But I’m sure you can make either work. If you decide to try it let me know if it doesn’t work! Thanks for watching.
@@ColtDaniel I was thinking the shallow socket might fit in the hole for the barrel and not need any grinding... but insee your point about the deep socket being thinner. I love making tools.
@@ColtDaniel I tried a shallow socket with a short extension and it worked. I just grinded a little at a time till it was thin enough, and I used a flat file to get the top nice and straight.
Do you advise against Glock model 22 as advantage pistol being able to switch out the 40 Cal barrel an dropping in a 9mm which allows me to change ammo with the same pistol or not ? ? ?😃 ?
Laughing at the limp wristed guys who can’t afford a $40 Harbor Freight grinding wheel. Pretty standard equipment in a proper garage. I made the tool in about 3 minutes flat.
Fingers crossed! I have another channel based around my music career that is pretty big. I’ll leave in the past few weeks have I started putting the same effort into this channel. Thanks for following along!

Thank You ! I love making and modifying gunsmithing tools. You saved me some dough !

I used a 3/16 driver I had laying around. Ground it down and worked great! Thanks.
I did the same, tried a 1/4 but wasn't snug, then a 3/16 and it worked like a charm.

Never thought of that, great idea.
Thanks! Appreciate it 🤘🏻
I have a couple old sets of nut drivers and I just did the same thing to the 3/16" one this morning. Cost - $0.00

Your intro is so smooth. I like it
Thanks so much!
Will do.
Thanks for watching!
Dude! You are my hero. this is such a no brainer.
Great idea, thanks.

I can see that working!
Nice. I use a Wiha 3/16 precision nut driver.
Good info! Thanks for watching
Thanks. This is right in my wheelhouse!!!!!
I very much enjoy this channel and hope you continue!

@@ColtDaniel awesome to hear! I look forward to the content!
3/16" socket. Check. Thank you.
Thanks!🇺🇸
Cool hack to make a front sight tool!
Thanks for watching!
So all I gotta do is buy buy a grinder lol
😂😂 well played
you could do it with a drill. chuck the bit into the drill, spin it, and use a file or a grinding disk for a an angle grinder.
That won’t work on a 34 because you would have too go threw another hole threw the bottom side barrel
Yeah, that's what I was thinking also , for 10$ it's not worth the trouble
Thank you.
Thanks CD. Great job. Good info.

im not sure because the socket part gets fat before it will clear the slide, i am guessing no

Man life saver thanks

What kind of tlr is thr
That’s a good idea if you have the tools to do it. Lol I don’t so (lost my man card) I have to buy a front sight tool. Damn it.
Haha yea definitely need a grinder and 1/4” ratchet or it’s definitely cheaper to buy the tool. Thanks for watching!
@@ColtDaniel dude I’m really digging your stuff. Great job on the vids. Keep up the good work.
Appreciate it!! I have another much bigger channel, but really enjoy creating this type of content a lot. Thanks for following along!
Dope video.
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching
$2 socket plus $40 & up electronic tool to grind on the socket. Better off getting the $8 driver
$2 sight tool!!
All that’s required is $60-200 with of power tools equipment 😂😂
Nice easy fix👍🏼
man aint no one got time to do all that shit lol just wait for the damn tool
"$2 Front Sight Tool" proceeds to instruct viewers to use a $500-$1,000 grinder. Nice dude, nice.
Not sure where you are getting your grinders LMAO! This was an $89 harbor freight special. And lots of people already have grinders.

Do you have a brother, he looks just like you😂😂

Glock front site tool $9 amazon, or $2 socket + $100 grinder wheel. 😂
So $2.00 if you already have a grinding wheel 👍
Will pliers work? Lol
Or or or hear me out , you can get one on Amazon for the same price …. 😮
You look so familiar…😳 now I recall. It’s so rad that you’re also into this. Never thought we’d have that in common 🥹
