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.

It works

I installed Ameriglo Suppressor height sights(GL-329) onto the RMR cut Brownell Glock 34 Gen 3 slide. It took a lot of torque to get the sights in place and it was very uncomfortable, but it worked as advertised.

MGW for Glock

Had a gift certificate and used it on this item. After installing 3 pairs of sights on a 19,26, and 43, I can tell you it is well worth it. Rear sight removal and install was done without a hitch on all three Glocks (had the adapter for the 43).

Well-made product

Very well-made product. Built to last. Works smoothly. WAY better than the ones Glock has made!!!

Works well

The sight pusher works great for the factory rear sight on the 92/M(. however it doesnt work with the adjustable sights on the Practice kit. The sight does not fight inside the "pusher area". i had to disassemble the sight to make it work. overall well made.

Great tool...

This tool is not the one I would recommend for the casual user, it is very specialized. For certain gun/sight combinations it is the BEST I have used. If you are moving really tight sights on 1911's, or installing Tritium sights on a regular basis this is a got-to-have tool.

thumbs up

used on my glocks and did a little dremeling for it to fit the 30/21/20 rear sites. I just wish they would make a more universal tool that would do more then one brand of pistol.

works great

For modern firearms with tight dovetails nothig works better to replace sights or shift sights without damage

Has worked well for years

I have had one of these for years and it makes rear sight installation and adjustment a snap. If you just need to do one installation on a 1911 style gun, it might be overkill. But it makes installation and fine adjustment much easier than with a punch, and worth it if you do adjustments, installations, or sight changes routinely.
