    That arbor press idea looks interesting. I could add an attachment to the ram so I could push the sight through without having to use the punch like the guy in the video did. I could probably build a couple attachments as needed for different sights. Hmm...

    I can attest to MGW making very good stuff. I have the MGW Pro that can be used with many style pistols with various adapters. cost a bit but is very well made.

    They do make less expensive models that are dedicated to various types of guns.

    A brass punch and a small hammer work fine. Very light taps will get you where you need to be without spending a bunch of money.

    I have a bunch of arbor presses and never thought about using one for that. If you tend to be hamfisted, one of those might work pretty well.

    I've used many sight pushers over the years and have yet to find a 'universal' one that works well, the new Lyman looks interesting. I've had the best luck with the gun specific MGW's but if you have a couple guns it gets expensive fast.
