Reviews Summary
The SMALL DOVETAIL SIGHT PUNCH is noted for its potential, especially with specific pistol sights, but many users find its size inconsistent, requiring modifications for effective use. While the unique triangular design is praised for preventing damage, challenges arise with tight fits, leading to mixed experiences overall.
What Reviewers Are Saying
Fit and Size
67%
Many reviews discuss how the punch's size can be problematic, being too large for common front sights, necessitating modifications for it to work effectively. This inconsistency leads to frustration for several users who expected a more universal fit.
Design and Functionality
50%
The triangular shape of the punch is highlighted positively, as it helps distribute force and minimize damage to sights. However, it is called into question for its effectiveness on tightly fitted sights, where users report that it may leave brass marks or be ineffective altogether.
Performance on Various Guns
50%
The reviews indicate varying levels of success depending on the firearm in question. Some users found it effective with specific models, while others faced issues that rendered the punch unsuitable for their needs, especially with tighter dovetails.
Durability Issues
33%
Some customers encountered durability problems, such as breaking the punch during use or having to modify it extensively. This raises concerns about the long-term usability of the product under regular conditions.
Value as a Tool
50%
While users appreciate the innovation behind the product, there is a consensus that the punch ultimately works best on a limited selection of sights, making it less valuable for those who need a reliable tool for various applications.

Small bronze sight punch
Bought primarily for green tritium night sight replacement on the S&W Bidyguard2.0 rear sight. The fit is very close; yes, it may need to be filed down & stoned just a bit but overall I expect it will do the trick!
Would you recommend this? Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Great for sights on sub-compacts and micro guns
The triangluar shape make for putting all the force against the sight and little to no energy into marring the sight or slide like you get with a round punch.
Would you recommend this? Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Drift along
When you need to make an adjustment to your pistol sites of make a change in the sites this tool is a must to have.

Interesting idea but limited in use.
I thought the idea of a brass punch might be cool to prevent marring up tight dovetail sights. Well, it works pretty good on sights that aren't too tight. That's the sweet spot. But it will leave brass marks the tighter fit the sights are. For sights like the Shield, don't bother. I ended up compressing the punch a bit and had to sand it back down on the grinder to be usable. Use a steel punch instead and give it a couple of solid whacks instead. The other minor issue is that the "small" isn't small enough for a lot of sights.

Don't waste your time or money.
Too large for front sight cut on 1911; had to grind it down to fit and then corner of the punch broke off. Good idea that doesn't work.
