This one also can move front sights because the slide shoe for the B92 also comes with a delrin spacer to place on the open portion of the slide, which allows the top section of the tool with the pushing blocks to clamp down at an appropriate height. There's also a smaller model called the Rangemaster that I assume works similarly to the Sight Pro.

    I have the Sight Pro and it is spendy, but worth it if you collect pistols of many different types and want the best tool for the job. It has multiple side clamps to secure the slide, plastic spacers to help protect the finish, ways to adjust the height of height of the pushing blocks, and even different pushing blocks for angled sights, low mounted sights, narrow sights, etc.

    Yes, the Rangemaster works similar and they say it works on 95% of the guns, just doesn't have the depth of the full size Sight Pro (that one can buy the top as an upgrade). I bought the Rangemaster when I found it for what I frequently see the Wheeler go for.
    However, that still leaves the discontinued model that I believe the original poster was eluding to without providing a model number. The shoes from these one gun tools, do not transfer to the newer Rangemaster or Sight Pro's, unfortunately.

    I think it was this model that was being referenced initially. It's the unitasker product that only does B92 rears. Looks like it is still produced.

    On the newer B92s with front dovetails, I'd probably want to adjust the front since there is more room for adjustment. 2-3" at 15 yards is a lot, and the rear dovetail would be exposed if you drifted the rear sight enough to compensate for that.

    I think this is the one I have. (Regrettably, I accumulated several of this style instead of buying the Pro model from the beginning)

    It’s task specific to the B92 rear sight, but it works really well.

    That product is currently in stock at lots of places. Still my understanding is it is discontinued so as stock dwindles.
    However, my question to the poster I quoted still stands. A bit pedantic want, requesting clarification by that poster.

    If possible, I’m thinking of sending my WC Compact Carry to Langdon to have him deck it out in NP3, do a trigger job, etc. Then I’d like to order a decked out LTT Centurion with a mag guide.

    Edit to add: Don’t know if it’s really worth it to send the Compact in as I don’t think it’ll ever really have the sights I want it to. I might just start with a new Centurion as a carry gun.. or a Compact LTT. Shit, back to this dilemma again..

    Mickey stopped by in our great state and made a behind-the-scenes video at LTT.



    There are also two extra videos on maintainance and NP3.

    The video on maintenance was very informative. Pro tip: don't use Hoppe's to clean your entire pistol.

    New LTT Centurion would give you a top end with the good sights that you could swap onto your Compact frame whenever you felt the need. That seems like the shortest path to having both options.

    Anyone know the height of the stock fiber optic sight, or have a tritium replacement front sight recommendation? I like the factory rear sight, drive the dot is OK, tip of front sight would be preferable.
