    Glock front sight tool fill?

    After stripping out one of the aluminum front sight tools that Dawson gives you, I decided to pony up and buy one of these Wiha things:

    Of course, the socket is way deeper than you need for a Glock front sight screw. What are y'all using to fill these up with and how do you get just the right amount of stuff (expoxy or whatever) without going over?

    Thanks!

    @ASH556 my favorite by far as recommended by Tom and others. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
    Takedown punch, front sight tool and floor plate removal tool all in one. The only thing that could make this tool better is if the pin punch folded down like the front sight tool does. Oh, forgot to mention front sight tool is magnetized so no losing the screw once you set it in.

    I've also got the same one as OP, I used a punch tool to make a bunch of leather discs to stack inside. You could also probably wedge it full of tiny paper balls.

    But I don't use it any more, it's either Dawson or 10-8 (or maybe someone else...somebody does though) that sends a free one with the sight kit. It fits much better.

    +1 to that. https://www.amazon.com/Glock-Front-S...ont+sight+tool



    I have four nice armorer grade Glock front sight tools including the one pictured in the OP.


    The Glock one is my best. I swear it seems magnetized and holds the nut inverted. I haven't seen that mentioned in specs.
