I stopped in the XS Sights booth at the 2023 SHOT show for a quick visit and learned about their new Glock Sight Pusher Kit.
After getting a quick demo on the show floor, I was curious enough to get a test sample sent to me for further experimentation.
In the video, you will see my first attempt to use the tool, and even for someone like me, it was not tough to use and get right.
The sight pusher worked with little effort due to the 1/16″ thread pitch allowing for 1/16″ travel of the non-marring brass drift for one, and a half turns of the tee handle. Notice the 1/16th” centering scale on the brass drift. This facilitates centering the rear sight and any adjustment that needs to be made. The plastic wedge acts as a non-marring shim accommodating all the different Glock and aftermarket Glock slide widths.
The tee handle is machined to fit snugly on the pusher but is easily removed. My favorite aspect is the end, which is a magnetized driver that fits the front sight threaded fastener. So, the kit is truly complete, with some additional features to make it more user-friendly.
