How do you adjust Rear sights?

The blade kind, that only adjusts for windage?
I've considered banging the hell out of them with a rubber mallet but I'm not sure if that's the right way

You use a nylon or brass punch and a mallet to move the sight from side to side. You don't strike the sight directly with the hammer.

Beware the man with the S&W .357 Mag.
Chances are he knows how to use it.

also remember you move the REAR sight the same direction you want the group to go on target.
