New Trijicon Night Sights

I need to invest in a sight pusher. I had a set of Trijicon HD sights installed at a shop in Hillsboro and they were pounded in with a punch. Never again.

You will be lucky if they work

I actually emailed my prospective gunsmith a freaking questionaire on how he would go about installing Trijicon tritium sights.
Much to my surprise he replied back, answered my questions and said that he uses a MGW Pro sight pusher.
Bingo ! Right answer.

You don't pound on tritium sights because you can break a tube from the impacts.
And you get the free of charge, souvenir impact marks on your sights to enjoy every time you handle your pistol.

Or you shove the damaged sights up the "gunsmith's" nose, sideways and make him buy you new sights.
On another forum this just happened and the "gunsmith" is buying new sights.

"MGW Pro sight pusher". Off to Amazon.

Or this for $30 on fleabay...

Easily put Trijicons on my Shield with no fuss, no muss and more importantly, no marrs...

"MGW Pro sight pusher". Off to Amazon.

Just get the regular....about $108 and much nicer that $50 Ebay types.
The MGW has a strong frame and finer threads on the jack screw which equates to more power than the cheaper pushers with their coarse threads.

The pro is about $300.

I paid $16 to have my rear sight pushed on by a competent smith.

$110 for MGW. $115 for Trijicon pusher. Divided by a lifetime of purchasing Glocks...

This should be all you need.
MGW Rear Sight Tool Glock - MPN: MGW309
The angled push pads would mate up to my Trijicons.
If you have straight sided sights you would need different push pads.

I'll ckecknthose out. The sights I'm transitioning to on all my pistols now are the Trijicon HD.

Also look at Trijicon HD XR (extra range).

They have a thinner front sight blade for a more detailed sight picture.
I have the orange ring and they are a great day/night sight system.

Ameriglo Agent is another nice sight system.

That is the sight pusher I own, it worth every penny. I used it to put on my Trijicon HD sights and will be using it to remove and replace them with Vickers Battle sights. IMO they solve all the issues I have with the HDs.

I love that XR blade for daytime shooting.
At night it's just a great tritium sight system.

If I had my 20 year old eyes back, I might like the Vickers.
Otherwise, not a fan.

It is the HD rear sight that I have most of the issues with.

It's fatter than the XR.
I think the XR is relatively new.

Do we or just making that assumption?

It was my front sight which got damaged due to a hammer blow as per Trijicon. They installed a new front sight and sent it back at their expense. I have XS lollipop style sights on my KAHR K9. They are getting weak and I prefer Trijicon sights, however I don't see that Trijicon sights are not available for that handgun.

This is why you can't trust anyone who just calls himself a gunsmith... I'm still here waiting to find a decent gunsmith before I can even add a bayonet lug to one of my rifles.

I found this DIY bayonet mug that can get you by until then...

It is unfathomable to me that someone would a hammer at all let alone on the front sight, I'm just not seeing the utility.
