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.

Limited use

I bought this sight mover along with adjustable target sights. Used it on a 96A1 and 92FS. This device works great on standard sights, but is not compatible with adjustable target sights. Needs a redesign to be worth buying.

Doesn't work well with glock 20

The slide was a little snug inserting into the tool, but not what I would consider difficult or out of the ordinary. The sight came out with very little difficulty, but the finish was stripped from the top of the slide. Not real happy about that, hence the 2 stars. I took out the shim from the tool for enough clearance to install the new sight.

Only does the rear sight

Unlike the SIG version, this model will not work on front dovetailed sights and is very limited in it's range of use. Outside of a very tight fitting rear tritium sight that you won't want to use a punch on (they break easily) there is not much use for it.
