I had compared many different rear sight pushers for slide-recoil-operated handguns for a couple of weeks, done price comparisons, and landed on this model from Vance in Obetz. I am thoroughly pleased that I went this route, and I am sure that anyone else looking to do work on their own pistols would be too. There are tons of cheap and dangerous options on Amzn, as well as many competing similar brands. I felt none of them offered equivalent or nearly equivalent appointments and features.
This particular option is extremely well built, sturdy, and safe, featuring ergonomics that both lend to efficiency and safety of the user. I was able to use the product in line with the instructions and get exactly the result I was looking for even after a certain cleaning service from a certain competing 2A/Shooting Sports retailer nearly ruined my right sight and locked it up in the slide. You have to continuously adjust the tension on the slide vices, but this device makes it very easy to do so without marring the finish or damaging the geometry. I got the rear sight exactly where it needed to be on my Ruger RXM and took it to the range and found the results to be spectacular. The lubrication points are easily accessed. The instructions are concise and feature images and diagrams. It comes with additional parts and adapters. It features an incredible warranty. It is made in the USA by a veritable and reputable company.
Don’t skimp on your gunsmithing and maintenance devices and tools, and you’ll be repaid in dividends for many years! Go with the Real Avid Master Sight Pusher and don’t look back. It is beyond worth the cost to ensure the safety and operation of your pistol. Why take the chance on Chinese-made crap when you need to quickly line up your irons and make your shots count? In a home/self-defense situation, training, or range day…having your irons dead on is the best way to ensure that where you point is where you impact when it actually matters. There is a reason why our nation’s military and LE regard proficiency with irons as the best way to train and prepare. This device ensures you are able to adjust, remove, and install preferred sights so you can do just that. And if you are going to use or upgrade to night sights, co-witness sights, or use a suppressor, then this device allows you to do that on your own as much as you need to without having to entrust others with your valuable tool.
Vance Outdoors’ online order for in-store pickup was extremely easy to use, and it was ready the very next day after purchase. I was very pleased, and you will be too.
