Anyone have the tool to swap out the sights on a glock? Just picked up a set of night sights and I don't wanna go the route of putting it on a vice and tapping them out or in if I don't have to. TIA

I just use the largest metal punch that would fit and a dead blow, don't use a hammer, and make sure your punch is seat before hitting it, if it isn't a solid hit, you can break a vial. At least, I heard people rumor about it. I've never personally broken a night sight on installation before. Better safe than sorry. I would also recommend a laser bore sight so you can get the sights right.Originally posted by bonnie&clyde View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Yes I have an MGW pro sight tool with the correct parts to do Glocks. You are welcome to stop by someday and use it or we can meet up somewhere. It's a 10 minute job tops. I hate glock factory sights with a passion. The rear sight is too visible making focusing in the front sight much more difficult.Comment

Good idea, but most of my Glock's don't keep their factory sights long. I've also seen guys just turn them around.Originally posted by Cobraman View PostComment
