The one I used was pretty bad. It was next to impossible to keep the driver pin level, it would always ride up, no matter how you started. Based on how it is designed I can't see it working too well for anything.

I've had really bad experiences with the B&J machine "tool". No matter how I snug the slide it always seems to cant, which causes the pusher to slide up off the sight or even dig in. Threads on the pusher have stripped. Since I've consolidated to the M&P platform, I purchased the Ameriglo/MGW tool and I've been very happy with it.

I've had the same problems, even going back to when it was the owned by P.I.
I would pass on it.
An update to what I use. I have changed 5 or 6 sets of sights in the past few weeks and have been using a brass rod and found it to be better than most other pushers I have tried. If using a pusher it would be a dedicated MGW pusher, but the brass rod just works. Buy a few feet of it and shape the end as needed.

Useful tidbit of info:
The MGW Glock tool will also accept an M&P slide, but you need to remove the backplate and striker assembly from the M&P slide.

I use the M&P sight tool on my Glocks.
I have used the M&P tool on Glocks as well.

I just ordered this one (primarily due to price).
If you could post your thoughts on this one once you get it that'd be great. I usually just use a vise, a brass punch, and a hammer but if this one works with a variety of sights I might give it a shot.
