Easier Than I Thought
By Bob Wahlen
from Boca Raton, FL
About Me Competitive Shooter
Comments about B & J MACHINE P500 UNIVERSAL SIGHT TOOL:
I bought this tool because I have a Sig a Kimber & a Kahr that I wanted night sights on. Buying this tool was cheaper than getting them put in by a gunsmith. I was a bit nervous at the start, but once the slide was lined up the sights pressed right out and the new ones went right in. I also bought the clamp just to make sure nothing moved. Not as hard as you would think. Good tool.

About Me Gunsmith
This design slips often. The pusher heads rotate causing damage to both sight and gun. Slide isn't centered in the unit so you have to disassemble and reassemble for measuring, sometimes over and over to get sight perfect positioning. The tool flexes, this make close estimates and exact positioning imposible by counting the rotations. In my opinion it is a waist for any well fitted dovetail sight. For loose sights held on by a set screw it should do ok. Do not use it for anything precision.
Not worth the money
By Jim
from Texas
It does work with limited success on many models. However, it is difficult to align correctly and continually shifts while using. The tips, that are designed not to rotate, will rotate, marring the sight and the slide if not very carefully monitored. Frequent shifts in alignment cause similar problems. The hammer and punch method causes less marring. Also, very tight sights can not be removed. I eventually stripped the push rod and was almost unable to remove the slide from the tool.

P500 Universal sight tool
By Sig shooter
from Calgary, AB
I have used this tool to adjust the fixed sights on several Sig pistols (models 220, 228 and 226) with complete satisfaction. It works reliably and does not scratch the surface of the slides. The best universal sight adjustment tool I have ever used. Several friends and other shooters at the range have used it, also to their satisfaction.
Brownells and B&J Comes through
By The Pistolworks Inc.
from Ontario, Canada
I have had this tool since it came out and it has long since paid for itself. Recently while working on an HK USP 45, the pusher bolt was stripped and the side frame were the pusher bolt threads through. [...] forwarded me to B&J and they replaced all the defective parts no questions asked and even included some parts that are with the new version, I paid noting. They also explained to me why this may have happened and that they have now come out with a additional tool to help ease the work on this slide as well as a few others with the same problem, that tool is on the way, thank you Brownells. Now that is service, way to go on a fantastic tool and fantastic customer service. Hats off to B&J [...]

Perfect Tool
By Marlin
from St Louis,MO
I have a small gunsmithing buisness. I could not justify spending money on so many different dedicated sight tools for both front andrear sights. If you can't use this tool to remove and install sights, you should not be in this buisness. [...]

Needs different tips!
By chewedupsights
from VA
About Me Gun Collector
Tool has potential, but the tips provided are metal and I ended up destroying two sets of sights as they gouged and scratch the metal. Even with cloth folded over multiple times, the tips cut through it. Perhaps a piece of thick leather between instead.The tips should be made of hard plastic like the tools walls in order to prevent destruction. The tips also "rotate" when turning the pusher screw, helping contribute to the damage.The tool should also come with top clamp as part of the package instead of the [$] option. I found the slide would rotate inside the tool without it.Good tool in theory, but these issues should be addressed.

Does NOT deliver as advertised
By Herb the LW
from San Jose, CA
This tool damages slides, does not work "well", damages the sights it's putting on, and then falls apart. Choose another type, or use a brass punch and vise.

Good Tool, Excellent Company
By Hal
from Gig Harbor, WA.
I have had & used the p-500 Universal Sight Tool for a good while and found it effective and efficient. Not the easiest tool to use, but if one takes ones time it does the job. Recently in a move I lost a couple of the parts. I emailed B&J Machine and told them I lost the parts. My fault. They immediately sent me replacement parts, no charge, and my tool is back in business.Good efficent tool, excellent company. Hal
Amazing Product!
By Rob Anderson
from Jamaica, NY
I have used this tool for many years and on a wide variety of guns. It takes an extra minute or two to set up, but has never failed to get the job done. The customer service from B&J is excellent. They replaced a broken pusher screw three years after I bought it for no charge. The tool that I have came with steel tips. I am unsure about the brass tips the other poster was speaking about. I just purchased the new Hold Down Clamp that they have. It works better than advertised.
