ATG Heavy Duty Universal Pistol Dovetailed Rear Sight Pusher Tool

Very pleased. For the folks complaining about no instructions. I’m not sure why they can’t look it up on Google or watch a video on YT. The product works great, it’s very sturdy. The only catch I ran into was the plastic inserts were a bit oversized so you gotta kinda work them into the grooves and that shaves away the excess plastic. I used a small punch set armorer hammer to gently tap them into place. Once that was done, they are a perfect fit now and can be easily exchanged between the different insert sets.

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.

Worked great for Glock easy to use for removal of plastic rear sight & installation of Glock factory steel sights. Ensure the sights you're installing are the correct size for application or you are gonna have a bad time.

My goal was to install Ameriglo tritium sights and it was a real torture test. First off, your sights go on in one direction and come off in one direction. After watching a few YT videos on this procedure (nothing specific to the PX4 subcompact), I came to realize that I had to figure out which direction I needed to move the sights. I determined that right is on and left is off and then it was a matter of figuring out how to make the pusher tool work with the model F variant of the PX4 SC - this is the one with the slide safety switches (one on each side of the rear of the slide. I wound up wedging one piece of 1/8" thick nylon fabric above each switch between the stabilizers on the left and right sides. This seemed to work well enough but the pusher tool could not push the sight out (or I was too afraid to keep twisting the shaft). I ended up using a full sized hammer with the edge of the 2" x 1" x 1/4" solid plastic spacer to start the sights (both front and rear). Once they were about 25% off the dovetail channel, I was able to easily push them out with the tool. The rear sight was much easier to move than the front sight and (full disclosure) I had to hammer the front tritium sight all of the way in to the slide. It was a real torture test for my slide and a real psyche test for me. The whole transplant procedure took me about 2 hours because of the care and time I took to figure out how to approach this because this was my very first time. I have no plans to ever attempt this again because I think it is too easy to destroy your sights and damage your slide. Thank God Beretta craftsmanship is way above par. If I have have the desire to upgrade my sights in the future, I will seek out a gunsmith, hands down. I do not personally believe this is a job for anyone who does not have a very high skillset, troubleshooting skills and collection of appropriate tools (you all know who you are). Review of the Pusher Tool: I am grateful for the availability of this tool but I do have a few CONs... *The side with the crank will not clear the stabilizer unless you remove the pin from it. I used an allen key of similar size so I could twist the crank freely while operating the pusher. *The "table/dial" that the slide rest on telescopes up and down as you turn it left or right - this is a great feature but it wobbles. It would have been great if it were more stable so as to ensure that the slide is level with the pusher as it sweeps across the top of slide. If the angle of the push motion is not level with the sight/dovetail channel, it can create a moment (structurally speaking) and break the sight, the pusher block or even warp the slide (if that is even possible???) For the price though, I was able to make it work well enough. * I think it is safe to say that this tool was not designed for a slide with a slide safety, let alone two of them. I would not recommend this for a pistol with one (like the Beretta PX4 model F or G).

This is a review worth reading if you need a pistol sight pusher. I have 2 other highly rated sight pushers. One $100+. Changed out enough stock sights that I refused to bang on them with a hammer & delrin anymore. Upgrading to tritium night sights? You don’t want to bang in this with a hammer. Can cause permanent damage. Hammering in place not a very accurate way either. My other sight tools work ok but both have issues & some slides won’t fit quite right. If you’ve used a sight tool before you know proper holding of the slide makes a big difference. So this ATG is very well made. Good fit and finish. Seems well thought through. Example: doesn’t just hold slide from sides. Nice round screw plate on bottom so you can adjust to the height of your slide. About a 3” round plate big enough to give great bottom support. The sides screw in to hold slide. Delrin inserts so no steel contacting your slide. Holds sides very firm. The Felton inserts are not perfectly flat, so will work on slides other than perfectly flat Glock slides. Then they go a step further and provide a 4th plane of support with a top screw (also with delrin insert) that adjusts down on top of your slide. Last the heavy duty steel pusher when properly aligned will move the tightest site. You carefully set this bad boy up and it will remove and reinstall your sights. I’ve used it now on Glocks, 1911’s, CZ75 & a SIG micro 9. Worked well on all. Probably some slide out there that won’t fit, but it would be a 1%-er. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. PS: no instructions included but intuitive setup. If your buying a sight pusher you’ll figure it out. By the way it comes with a nice zippered case with urethane foam cutout to fit tool. Extra delrin protection inserts. They’ve though of almost everything. For $60 you can’t go wrong.

If you’re planning on changing out your fixed sights on a pistol, this is a must have. Works great.

Wonderful sight pusher. I wish I had found this earlier. It’s affordable and does the job. I used a block of wood and a big hammer (not a framing hammer but a big mallet/Thor looking heavy hammer) to get the rear sights off of my new cz SP-01 tactical. I can’t believe how much force was required to remove the rear sight. Yes, the set screw was removed. Rewind to 2 days ago, my new cz P-01 arrives and I get to work on swapping the sights. Well, my Thor hammer and wood wouldn’t budge the rear sight. I mean, I was smacking it so hard the wood would splinter. But the sight didn’t move at all. I was using a big vice too. I squirted some penetrating fluid (not wd40, that doesn’t do anything) and went to bed. The next morning, I tried again and again, it didn’t move one bit. I was getting worried that I would eventually damage the slide if I continued so I start to look for an affordable sight pusher. So I found and bought this. The sight was off in a minute, no more drama. This pusher is highly adjustable and made short work removing and installing the sights. It was easy and effortless. The pusher is nicely designed and comes with polymer blocks to protect your guns finish. It has a cool turntable that your slide sits on so you can set the proper height. It is a nice anodized blue color with engraved instructions and a nice sight window to check your work. It even has a graduated scale to measure how far you pushed your sight. All knobs are knurled and this tool does NOT feel or look cheap in any way shape or form. As far as tools go, this is rather cool looking. It also comes with a nice nylon zippered case for storage. I can’t comment on other pistols but if you have a new cz p-01 or sp-01 and you want to swap the sights, don’t kid yourself. Do it right and do it safely and get this tool. I think I was lucky with my first gun and if I had found this back then, I would have bought it. It seems kind of pricey to spend on a one time thing but this tool, you can display it on your work desk and people will ask you what it does. You can then tell them it’s a prototype atom smasher and they will believe you. It’s that pretty and interesting looking. You can also make more friends at the range and help other people replace their sights. Ask for a six pack in exchange or have them wash your car or ask for a box of rounds or use it as a nut cracker during the holidays. A giant walnut will easily fit. You can shear the top off with no muss/fuss. Who needs those ugly wooden soldiers when you have this thing. Your mother-in-law will think you’re a genius, when you use it to crush peppercorns for fresh pepper when you have dinner at her house. It can help mask her horrible cooking, the opportunities are endless...I’m going to use this tool as a centerpiece on our kitchen table. It will be a fun and whimsical change from the boring Flowers my wife usually has on display. In all seriousness, It will cost you 25 or 30 dollars at your local gunsmith to get your sights replaced. Then, you need to verify and you may need to adjust your sights, so back to the gunsmith you go. How about when a new sight comes out that you want to try? It will save you time and money eventually paying for itself. It really is a great tool and you won’t be disappointed. Sadly, I did not receive any incentives for this review. I paid full price for this tool. I’m still trying to figure out how that works. The end.

Works good as long as you have straight up rear iron sights. I changed multiple sets of sights on a Glock from stock to 2 different heights of ameriglo to cowitness with different optics. But if you have the rear iron sights that swoop back and don't stick straight up from the dovetail this sight pusher doesn't work. I tried to change the sight in the picture but it felt like I was pushing the limits of either the sight tool or my sights and I didnt want to risk it. But for simple sights that sit straight up in the dove tail it works fine (at least with a Glock)

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