Sight Installation & Adjustment Tools

Any recombinations on site presses or installation tools??

depends on what type of gun you plan on using it on. Glocks are easy, XD's 1911's not so much. I have tried a few different brands and this is the best I have used so far.
They have 2 models and the cheaper one won't do full size 1911's...ask me how I know.

It is not universal and you have to buy a slide shoe for each model but they don't cost much

I have the wheeler you pictured.
Bought it as my first pusher tool to do our m&p shields. Still needed a punch and hammer to get the factory boogers out but putting the new ones in was a breeze.

If are primarily working with glocks, the vism ncstar unit pictured there for $58.99 will do everything you need. I own one and it works fine.

I have that ncstar as well. I just did an m&p with it. Not the best but it works.

If you have the $ and plan to replace sight on other pistols of yours, then go for the Wheelers one you posted. I have had it for years and it works great.

I have the Wheeler and it works great on Glocks, haven’t tried it on anything else yet.

Another Wheeler fan here. Have used it mainly on Glocks and M&P.

Need to know what guns you are working with to provide proper input.

Thanks fo all the input. I appreciate it.

Is a punch and hammer needed for the shield ez even with the wheeler unit?

We had to use a punch in the regular shield. I assume the ez probably would be the same.

Another vote for the MGW one. Buy once cry once but it works like a dream.

A friend of mine got one that I can use if I buy the necessary shoes for my guns and I have a few times. XD, Beretta 84, CZ 97 so far.
