Best sight pusher (at reasonable price)

[Guest]

Hi, whats the best sight pusher in the <$100 range?  Looking at a couple and it seems the general rules about build quality and fit/finish apply.  Wondered if there's one that's considered the go-to.

Thanks!

There’s a reason you only hear good things about the MGW.

Several years ago, I purchased one similar to this:

I used it a couple of times but just got frustrated with it and eventually purchased an MGW sight tool.  It's expensive but worth it to me just to have a more stable tool when working with slides and sights.

I have this one and it works pretty well for most guns, front and rear sights.  There are some designs it won't work on just because the sights won't line up with the pusher block, but that's par for the course on most sight pushers.   It was well worth the money.

The only complaint I have is that everything is done with hex set screws, which takes a while to get the pusher set up for the gun.  Just a lot of fiddling and adjustment.

Over the years I've tried and broken most models of sight pushers, sometimes on the first use.  Not because I'm that strong, but because most of the sight pushers are just junk that will work on some easy sights but are not about to budge something like sights on an M&P.

I've never broken an MGW and have yet to find a pistol sight the MGW won't move.  Nothing else is even close in quality or capability.

Cheers,

Thanks gang!  Looks like there qre multiple versions of the MGW at a wide range of prices.  I'll do some research and likely end up with an MGW.
