GLOCK rear sight tool in Memphis?

[Kopis]

Anyone in the Memphis or Jackson area with an installation tool to install the rear sight on a GLOCK that would be willing to meet me somewhere? I hate dropping $150 on a tool for one use.

I've installed 10-8s and XS Big Dots on Glocks and just used a hammer and a punch.

Kopis you have entirely the wrong perspective in this matter. you are buying a $150 tool to use on the many Glocks you will buy in the future. now doesn't that feel better.

Ha thanks.... No luck with a punch (plastic tip bent to hell). Anyone else?

what kind of sights are you trying to install

Chris, if you can wait until mid DEC, I will be home from Afghanistan and I can help you out.

 

If I were you, I'd keep an eye out for a used MGW or similar tool.  I've seen them selling for $60ish+ on various forums when they come up.  I never thought I'd use mine as much as I have.  It is a good investment.

You can get brass punches (mine are steel) or you could use a 6" 3/8 wood dowell. Edited December 1, 2013 by BrasilNuts

Thanks for the help. I was at the gun show yesterday and Dave the Glock guy put them on for $5 and threw in a few plastic Glock keychains! Nice guy. He liked my trigger job, just polished, 3.5 connector and rounded titanium plunger.
