I have the P500 tool, and actually get quite a bit of use out of it (dept armorer). I recommend getting the clamp attachment for it if you plan on doing any of the S&W M&P's. Take the time to research which way to push the sights for each model, knock just the smallest tad off of the leading edges of the new sights before starting them into the dovetails, and visualize the whole process beofre you start. It takes a wee bit of patience to set everything just right, and you might have to move a bushing from one side to another during the process. Taking a little time to study each adjustment and turn of the wrench will keep you from getting any scratches.
