Glock sight tool?
Anyone have a sight tool for the rear Glock sights that I could borrow or rent? I've got the old sights off and the new front sight on, but need to press the new rear sight in place.
I was able to drift the old Ameriglow rear sight on, but the Trijicon one is too tight to drift with a dowel and hammer.

Re: Glock sight tool?
i rigged up my own sight pusher using a vice and a brass punch.
i clamped the slide to one of the jaws of the vice (put a rag between the slide and vice jaws to protect the slide finish). put some blocks of wood under it to help stabalize it.
then i take a brass punch and hold it with one hand so one end is on the sight and one end is on the other jaw of the vice.
then slowly close the vice while holding the punch in place with your hand (have to go slow and make sure to keep the punch from "popping" out).
i've installed a few meproligh sights this way and it has worked fine for me. you might want to give it a try if you cannot get hold of a real sight pusher.
(oh, wear eye protection just in case the punch pops out of your hand and hits you in the eye or something...not likely, but ya never know.)F*S=k

Thanks for the reply LittleRedToyota. I'll see what I can rig up on the vise to do that.
