sight adjustment tool

Best I can tell, there are two types/methodologies.

First is chucking up a slide and using a drift, tapping the sight, moving it a random amount.

Second is a tool that clamps on the slide and then using a threaded arbor, engage the sight and control movement by thread pitch.

In the case of the second methodology, are the tools that do this all model specific? Is there not a generic or universal version?

I've found them for, SKS/AK, 1911, XDm, Glock ...

Hesco Mepro-Sight. They claim it does all. Check out Brownell's. If anyone has a do-all sight pusher, it's them money draining tool sellers. Bless them.

The first method doesn't need to be random. You can use dial calipers to measure the location of the sight before, then move it a set amount. This works well with calculations for determining how far you need to more your sight.

This is kinda expensive for just a one-time use purchase- but it's handier than the dickens for several tasks. It's also good to let your shooting buddies know you have it as a community tool to keep friends from goobering up their firearms.
