How do I fix this?

who needs sights.....

[MrVvrroomm]

You don't need a sight pusher. Just shove it back to the center with your thumbs. Seriously.

I was waiting on the "Homie Sights" to appear in this thread. Nicely done.

Also, if you can just push the sight back in with your thumbs, there is a chance that the sight is too worn down. Seriously, come see me and I'll fix it and it is a good excuse to go to the range.

What he said. The sight should not move for no reason. There is a reason that it moved and that must be corrected before it is moved back or it will just move again later.

I had the same sights on my glock when I did own it. Never had an issue with them moving. Something had to have caused it to move. I didn't see anything that would have indicated damage or a side strike capable of causing them to move. I have seen them move like that when people attempt to rack the slide with the sights against their leg. But they are also putting a pretty good torque on the slide too doing it.


Is it loose enough to push with your fingers at all? or rather solid?

No i tried like hell to push it with my thumb hoping i could at least get it back to where i felt semi comfortable until i get new ones but it seems to be a pretty tight fit.

gunshop guy?Doug, when are you generally available there? Tomorrow doesn't work for me.


MUCH Appreciation for the offer!!!
Thanks,
Tim

if you have a pair of vice grips. Put a couple pieces of paper in the jaws. Tape this in place with electrical tape.


GENTLY and ever so slightly adding more pressure turning the screw. Use the vice grips to press it in place.

The paper and electrical tape provide protection to the slide to now mar it.

I have used this trick to press in roll pins on AR lowers.

Well thank you for all the offers and suggestions! They were very much appreciated. Been pretty but the boy and I got some free time so we went to Bullseye Shooter Supply. All I have to say is this is a stand up place. I asked what it would take to get my sight adjusted and he looked at it and said I'll be right back. He did ask if it was ok to tap it with a brass punch before he did anything. I asked what i owed him and he said nothing! so i took upon myself and bought a Bullseye t-shirt. For service like that i will wear a shirt and give him free advertisement I know there were many other things i wanted to buy but the "Fun Filter" would strung me up. So i live another day to buy more gun stuff later.

Thanks again for all hose who offered help!
