Rear sight pusher tool

PSA Products Dagger
1

Ok I’ve read up and I understand changing (both) the sights on a Dagger is a PITA.

Who has first hand experience changing the rear sights and which brand tool did you use?

If anything I’m interested in which brand works successfully to INSTALL the new sight as I understand I might be better off using a hacksaw to remove the stock ones.

I’ve read all the threads regarding torches, hacksaws, air hammers, sanding down the new sights and rear tools that didnt work. I’m not looking forward to this.

At the least I will plan to find a front tool that fits, hacksaw the rear, then find a good brand rear tool to drive the new sight in.

Thanks Gents.

Wheeler 710905. Not cheap but VERY well made.

I’m generally cheap. But I just ordered the Wheeler. Amazon had an open box and the unit looks like it will survive a nuclear blast.

I already kinda regret it cause I could have saved enough to buy the sights and had enough for lunch if I went with the NCstar. But at least if I botch the installation I cant blame the tool, right?

Oh No, Bro - I always Blame the Tool….

(and if anyone calls me “Tool” again, I’m throwing whatever’s in my hand at them!)

NcStar Vism works for me. Glock sights are the easiest sights to do overall and usually don’t need a pusher (dowel rod works for the rear). The dagger sights are a little more difficult and the pusher comes in handy. I’ve done a few daggers eithout issue and the front sight was never an issue with a generic glock front sight tool. Springfield XD sights are by far the worst and were the only ones that required me to cut off the rear sight before installing new ones. With the Vism, I was also able to do the front sights on my Smith MPs anf Shields, too.

changing dagger sights is simple.

beleive it or not, the VISM (by ncstar)pusher sight tool is great, and then all you need is a glock front tool and your set.

Na. Unfortunately, the forum isn’t nearly as popular and active as it should be. Hopefully it continues to grow. It’s a great place free from Zuckerberg

i think people take example from here to bigger platforms, but i use the tools i got for free many years ago from ordering like truglo sights and for the rear it’s the cheapest beater tool idk where it even came from…

Real Avid Sight Pusher tool is pretty darn good. Swaps out Glock and Dagger rear sights in a snap.

I used it to swap out the front and rear sights of a Turkish Hi-Power clone and those things were installed by being hammered into place by The Hulk.

i’ve found that while some of their tools are pricy, they make real good things for working on guns. Ive bought one here or there when i couldnt find anything i really needed and they had it. I can see that their sight pusher would work real well. thats awesome.
