ATG Heavy Duty Universal Pistol Dovetailed Rear Sight Pusher Tool

Definite must have for removing and installing rears sights. Works well on small and large frame pistols. Heavy duty construction.

This worked as advertised and the quality was good enough that I scavenged the hardware to make a front and rear sight press functional and even to some extent good. It worked well with my 545 suppressor height sights for both removal and installation. Just be aware it's only for rear and the press is recessed back behind the frame so no easy way to transform it into handling both front and rear sights.

Fantastic product. Easy to figure out, instructions and tips are engraved on the frame to help out. Seems like it would fit any slide. Held the slide secure and with a little bit of force, popped the sights right out. Would buy again.

I have been an handgun shooter for many years and I collect handguns. That said I usually upgrade my sights. Prior to this tool I took my guns to a gunsmith and paid them $40 to remove and install the new sites. 2 sight upgrades and this press pays for itself. The good: Works great for removing and installing dove tail rear sights. Easy to figure out, easy to use, and easy to adjust sights. Small enough to take with you to the firing range and adjust your sights. Very satisfied. The bad: No instructions come with the press. Also the slide locking clamps do not have marking so you can center your slide. There are some markings for the sight press itself but they are nearly impossible to see. These marks would assume you have your slide centered and are not particularly useful. The ugly: There is a wheel for adjusting the height of the slide so the sights themselves reach the press area. However if you adjust the wheel up to the top of its range it interferes with the slide clamps. There is a shim included which I assume is for placing under the slide to remedy this. There are also inserts for the slide clamps so you do not scratch your slide but they don't really fit well or at all in my case. Summary: For $58 dollars it is a bargain! It works and is heavy duty. It is not perfect but you can figure out how to get the job done without being a rocket scientist. I love my purchase and I look forward for zeroing in all my handgun sights at the range. Remember to order a bottle of thread locker and a set of both SAE and metric Allen wrenches to tighten and loosen your sight screws.

Very well made, and the carrying/storage case was an extra plus. At $44+ - felt like I got my monies worth. Recently purchased Trijicon HD night sites and read the reviews on the difficulty of installing the rear site. Since I do all of my own gun work (by no means an expert either) I decided to give this product a try, rather than chancing damaging the tritium-phosphur site tubes using the good old punch method or taking to a gunsmith to install. Already had removed the Glock OEM plastic rear site easily using a plastic punch without damage. The Trijicon (metal) rear site fit VERY TIGHT. Even after several passes of the bottom of the site over 1200 grit sandpaper to remove any high spots, the fit was perfect but tight. Very high quality Trijicon fit and finish. Using the NcStar tool, the slide was cinched down on all four surfaces. Advise using vinyl electrical tap on the side clamp surfaces, the surface of the moving slide of the tool that makes contact with the site, and on the top side of the pistol slide itself to avoid making any potential marks or scratches on the slide during the installation process. A drop of oil in the site channel (wipped across with my finger) also helpful. Take your time and check all settings before wenching the movable tool slide! The NcStar tool worked like a champ! The Trijicon rear site was so tight. I proceeded by holding the NcStar tool secured in a vise, and used a 15mm socket (with ratchet). NcStar was thoughtful in offering this alternative method to turn the movable slide, rather than the provided turning handle. Made installing easy - went on without a glitch. Centered the rear site as needed. No damage to the site or slide. Highly recommend this product over costly site tools costing 2-3 times the price, taking to your gunsmith, or using the "punch" method.

I needed new sights installed on my slide and could only get it on about halfway using a vise and a brass punch per some youtube videos . called a gunsmith and would have to wait a week to get it done. took a chance on this tool. it was delivered next day and it worked perfectly on my slide, installing new sights is much easier now .... I oiled before using as per other reviewers advise.

This sight pusher, while undoubtedly well-made and practical, regrettably didn't prove compatible with my specific firearm model (Springfield XDs), and I'd like to provide a more detailed account of my experience: To begin, it's crucial to acknowledge the quality of this sight pusher. It's clear that it's crafted with precision and durability in mind, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of sight adjustments. The inclusion of a convenient carrying case is a thoughtful touch, adding to its overall utility and portability. However, it's worth noting that despite its impressive build and design, this sight pusher wasn't the right fit for my particular firearm. Upon conducting further research, I discovered that my firearm had unique requirements for sight removal that this pusher couldn't accommodate. This realization led me to the conclusion that I needed professional assistance from a gunsmith to safely and accurately remove the sight. In summary, while this sight pusher is undoubtedly a top-notch tool, its compatibility is limited to certain firearm models. In my case, it didn't align with the specific requirements of my firearm. Nonetheless, its quality and the included carrying case make it a solid choice for those whose firearms are compatible with it. If you're considering purchasing one, I would recommend double-checking its compatibility with your firearm model or seeking professional assistance when necessary

TL,DR: Depending on your unit, you may need to tighten the set screw with the included Allen key in order to make the tool work (I recommend doing this before attempting use, just to be safe). My unit required a great deal of strength and several minutes to install a Trijicon HD XR rear sight, but it did the job; the way it works is simple, but the work itself is not necessarily easy. The use of this tool is simple; removing a Glock rear right is a breeze. When it comes to installing a new sight, however... This sight pusher works, but, at the very least, mine required a good deal of strength and several minutes of genuine exertion to install a Trijicon HD XR; this may have been an issue with my unit, as video reviews found elsewhere seem to imply far less effort than my tool required (it is also worth mentioning that it could simply have been the cut of my sight). The tool is not exactly precise, nor is it imprecise; rather, it's hard to gauge how much actual movement of the block is transferred to the sight, which makes fine-tuning a bit of a chore. That said, I was able to more-or-less perfectly center the sight on the barrel after spending far longer than expected pushing it just too far one way and then just too far the other until satisfied. I did experience one problem with the build of the tool itself - there is a set screw (for lack of a better term) found in the nut on the main shaft of the tool (that is, the mechanism that actually does the pushing) opposite that handle. My unit arrived with the set screw too loose, allowing the shaft to bind or break loose, depending on direction of rotation. This problem was resolved by cranking down the set screw with an unreasonable amount of force. I would recommend torquing that sucker down the moment you open the case, just to ensure you don't experience the same frustrations I did with the system either seizing or falling apart. If you're not handy/don't pick up on how tools work quickly, there are a number of decent tutorials to be found showing how the system works... which is good, as there is no documentation of any kind found with this kit. Did I need it? No, but I know that a manual is a deal breaker for some. At the end of the day, it did the job, didn't cost as much as those found on Brownells, and didn't mar the finish on my slide, so I consider this worth the money, but don't purchase expecting an easy and issue-free experience (that way, if you have one, you can be pleasantly surprised).

Me encantó el material, muy buena calidad. De las mejores herramientas que puedes tener para cambiar o ajustar tus miras.
