    Reasonably priced dovetail front sight pusher?

    I’ve ended up with several dovetail front sight equipped pistols, and I prefer doing my own installations. I’ve been spoiled by Glock screw-on fronts.

    The pushers I have are really only suitable for rear sights. Has anyone seen a decent, affordable design for fronts that will push on the dovetail instead of the blade?

    Only one I know of is the B&J Machine P200, which is unfortunately no longer made.

    Maybe something like this if the dovetail has enough meat:

    I’m seeing cheap frame type pushers with a pointed block (not sure what to call it) - this may be my only practical option. I just don’t like using punches on tritium sights.

    I should order one of those Wyoming sight pushers for my range bag, though.

    I have been using an MGW pusher with the block adjusted as low on the sight as possible. So far, there have been no problems, but I definitely see how a problem could occur.

    VISM makes a universal combo front/rear sight pusher that can be had for less than $80. My bought on on sale a few years ago. Since it’s UNIVERSAL, It was a slight pain to get get everything lined up with all the adjustment screws, but once everything was square, it worked great.

    Mgw made for the specific gun is worth its weight in gold.

    Correction on my last post… the tool is made by NCStar. I think VISM is their subdivision!?!?

    I was surprised that the B&J tools was no longer being sold...

    I think they can make one still?

    I'll add: I love mine and have loaned it to PF members for years.
    It has been, literally, around the world.
    If you want to borrow it, LMK, just cover shipping.
