Anyone need handgun sights installed?

Hello

I have a sight pusher tool (www.sightpusher.com) that can do Glocks, 1911s, XDs, Berettas, and probably many more. However, I have only used it on my Glocks. I have used to put night sights on my Glock 19, 17, and 21. I also have the correct socket tool to install front screw on sights on Glocks.

I'm located in Snyder county (Selinsgrove) and can install your sights. I am not a gunsmith and work on my guns as a hobby. I DO NOT charge for sight installation because I'm offering the service as a courtesy to fellow PAFOA members. However, any donations in money, ammo, parts, etc will greatly be appreciated.

I hope this is ok and not in violation of any COC.

let me know if you are interested.

Hi there,

If you were closer, I would consider your offer. If you don't mind me asking, I've been looking at the sight pusher myself to install new sights on my HK USP and S&W Shield, how would you rate the difficulty doing it yourself?

Thanks!

Mike

Its not difficult at all. Just make sure you're lined up so that the tool is pushing the sight out straight. I personally give it a few turns, back off, then repeat the process. This way if you are crooked you wont do any significant damage. I believe in a clean 1 time job. So I make sure to clean the dovetail/sight hole with alcohol, wait till dry, then apply red locktite.

I would not recommend using a punch and hammer to get night sights installed. The impact might break the vials holding the tritium. ( Not speaking from experience so YMMV).

Good luck friend

Thanks, I appreciate the info. I will be sure to report back once I get around to changing out the sights.
