Sight Install Glock

[Kwikfish604]

I am looking for a trusted gunsmith in the PDX area to install some sights on a Glock 43x MOS. I am not confident with the force that the site pusher I have is taking for these sites to be installed.

Glock Rear Sight Install

Im glad I started with the cheapest Glock sight to learn on, they are plastic and distort easy. I do have an old school Fisher brand universal sight pusher. Centered, functional but ugly... will be replaced so I want to do it right. What is the proper way to install the rear sight on a Glock?

I am no gunsmith but have a rear sight tool.

Crank harder. lol. I have a tiny Glock branded sight pusher and sheared the roll pins after awhile. Put in a new pin and continued on my way. The little sight pusher has saved me not only gun smith money but gas money as well. Haha.

I upgraded my Glock sights by purchasing my HK VP9 in all seriousness good luck in your search. I screwed by "battleworn" glock19 gen 3 pretty good and broke a set of tritiums when trying to swap mine out(I eventually had a buddy who use to own a gun store do it) It was great day that day.

I just did some yesterday. I learned from the past and ruined a slide lol I put sand paper on a flat surface and sand the bottom of the rear sight still it starts to fit better and better.

Try Curt's Discount Shooters Supply or Oregon Rifleworks.

SafeFire in Camas has Glock armorer on staff and does sight installation.

Oregon Rifleworks in Tigard could hook you up too.

Also no gunsmith but I have a wheeler sight tool I'm in south east if you want I can throw them on for you for free.

My MGW sight tool has paid for itself time and time again. If you're sticking with Glocks consider buying one.

I am a Glock fan-boi. I have installed ton's of sights on Glocks.

I prefer the nylon punch / small mallet method.

I spoke to a Glock Certified Armorer about 10 years ago (or so), asking if there was a preferred direction to uninstall / install Glock rear sights. He said his training with Glock was that it does not matter.

I do have a nice sight pusher - a Chinese knockoff of the Wheeler sight pusher. It works OK. The challenge with these things is that the adjustment has to be very precise, with the piece that actually pushes the sight adjusted as low as possible.

But for Glocks, I still prefer the mallet and nylon punch method. I feel it actually gives me more control (as counter-intuitive as that sounds).

Good luck with your project.

Cheers.
