SEMI-AUTO SIGHT MOVER Reviews & Ratings

Safely moves fixed sights right or left in their dovetails without deforming slide or sight. Specifically designed for use with factory and aftermarket Tritium night sights, which are too fragile for the traditional hammer-and-punch sight installation method; works equally well with iron sights. Thumbscrew securely locks the slide so it’s fully supported in the rigid, machined aluminum body. Separate slots in the screw mechanism engage the sight and firmly, yet gently, concentrate screw force to loosen sights from even extremely tight dovetails. Hardened steel handle provides plenty of leverage, while self-lubricating, oil-impregnated Oilite® bronze bearings and extra-fine threads ensure smooth, precise movement. Beretta/Glock®fit rear sights only. Glock®Flat-Side fits aftermarket rear sights with straight, non-sloped sides for standard- and large-frame Glock®pistols. SIG fits rear sights on all SIGs except SIG-PRO. 1911 will not work with most Kimber slide/sight combinations. Only works on rear sights. Not for installing or adjusting front sights.

SPECS: Aluminum body, anodized. Steel cross carriage bolt and thumbscrew, black oxide finish. Beretta/Glock®- 4ѕ” (12.1cm) wide, 3” (7.6cm) high, ѕ” (19mm) thick. Glock®Flat Side - 4ѕ" (12.1cm) wide, 2Ѕ" (6.4cm) high, 1ј" (3.2cm) thick. 1911 will not work with most Kimber slide/sight combinations.

Damaged my slide

Tool came with the wrong size shim which was apparently a known issue. This caused the tool to scratch the finish on my slide. Instead of lazily including the correct shim with a note, the wrong shim should have been removed and replaced. Sloppy, haphazard and lazy

Doesn't work to install adjustable sight

Tool worked fine to remove the old sight from my 92A1. The new adjustable sight is too wide and wont fit in the adjustment tool. I ended up having to use a punch and hammer. If the tool was wider it would work.

does not work

tried to use on a new combat commander. sight mover not nearly close enough to put pressure on sight. can not be used on the front sight. sending it back.

Dont' waste your money

Unless the sight is very loose in the dovetail, this cannot move the sight for any kind of fine adjustment. A better option is a nylon tipped punch. This thing is a waste of time.
