Changing Glock sights with Vism Rear Sight tool and Glock Tool

[@JoeBlow-ub1us]

yo this tool is the shit. makes changing sights a breeze. why spend a $100+ on another rear sight tool when this one is built just as well and works the same, if not better. Mad props to your company, my g19 is looking sexy with my trijicon HD night sights.

[@michaelwood8168]

Purchased the VISM rear sight tool and have used it to adjust the rear sight on my 1911 Ai and have also used it to strip a Star BM upper that I purchased as an extra parts inventory. Removed the rear sight which allowed access to the firing pin retaining pin. This tool works great. Make sure that the pusher will clear the slide. When you tighten down the top anchor, the slide will tend to move up just a little. Allow for this before you start pushing the rear sight.

[@eugenegress5896]

As I was Pushing that sight with the adjuster, you could easily check , how centered it is on the top of the slide , with calipers, or a simple machinist steel pocket ruler. The slightest human hand movements can throw off a pistol shot, so Why not get open sights as precisely aligned as possible, so as not to add more accuracy problems.

[@TristanPetricca]

Great video! Very helpful for making sure I don't screw up my fresh G43

[@Bawkley]

Be sure to oil the bits by both the lever and the toggle guy on the left for smoother action and.... not grinding up the threads. ALSO, throw a tiny bit of your gun lube at the sight. Makes that precision movement so much smoother rather than being upset by large jerky movements of the sight.

[@tyjohnston5889]

I ordered one to take the factory rear sight off a Springfield XD Tactical .45. It stripped out the screw. Ordered another one as it was understandable and worked perfectly installing the replacement sights. My reasoning on why I re ordered: #1. No question as return policy #2. I put the quality as middle. Good for people with several guns of there own or some buddies and will come in handy again. Not heavy enough for gunsmiths. #3. I only ordered the first one AFTER breaking punches, drill bits, using lubricant, vices ect and end the end had to use my freaking dremmel to cut in half to sight removed

The tool is covered under warranty. Contact our support department at [e-mail] and we'll either send you out the parts to replace the stripped screw or replace it under warranty.

[@tyjohnston5889]

@@ncstar Yes. It has worked perfectly on every other sight I have dealt with. And worked wonderfully installing the new sights. Which it why I opted to order another. Bottom line is: good product and good customer service

[@thelawofthegun6237]

I’ve been seriously considering buying this tool but I have to say the negative comments on eBay and Amazon make me a bit apprehensive. I’m on the fence , looks like a great tool. Someone complained about the top clamp scratching their gun 🤯

[@ncstar]

If used correctly, there is no way it will scratch the slide of your gun.

[@Z1LTCH]

In the video, even you scratch the slide. You can clearly see it at 4:27. Wasn't there at the start of the video. When you hold the slide at the end, you tried covering up the big scratch blocking the view woth your hand. Should have just made a new video instead of trying to be deceptive.

[@bryancassaro]

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed. New sights on my new 26!

[@kouher4308]

Just got done doing my 19 & 43 with that tool. Super fast , tool didn’t even come with instructions. Pretty simple

[@ncstar]

Good to hear! Thank you for the feedback.

[@paulohalloran2485]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Jordan-ql6tm]

Dig that front aight pen, this wad the 1st video I've found showing the old gen front sight removal didn't realize it was that eady to just push out lol 🤦.

[@gcdiver]

I’ve only seen instructions to push rear Glock sights to the right to remove (as you did) but then replace it by installing from the right and pushing it in to the left. You installed from the left and pushed right. So my question is... does it matter? I know it appeared that you replaced it successfully, but I’m concerned about doing it correctly. Please advise.

[@ncstar]

Please reference your firearms manual for proper sight installation. Our VTUPRS will work either direction you but you want to consult your pistols owners manual for correct sight removal and installation directions.

[@JungleJimAB9AB]

I purchased a new model #VTUFNR tool. How do I change the side clamp covers? It came with the stepped insert installed and two flat inserts in the carry case.

[@ncstar]

You just slide them out and replace them with the flat ones. If they're a bit tight, you can tap them out using a brass hammer and polymer punch.

[@TheHurdyGurdyMan.]

Will this work for Trijicon HD XR sights? Trying to install ‘em on my Glock 21sf and the nylon punch method was nearly impossible

[@xblast196]

I ordered this exact part for my Glock 21 to install my Trijicon HD XR's... I'll let you know once my tool comes in

[@TheHurdyGurdyMan.]

Phil Royster No need haha I ordered it and it worked PERFECTLY. It was super easy and now my Glock looks great 👌🏼

[@xblast196]

@@TheHurdyGurdyMan. Awesome! Glad to hear. How did you zero it? I'm having a hell of a time getting my sights zeroed in... I busted out the calipers and there's only ~0.015 of an inch difference between the left and the right side but it's shooting all over the place.

[@TheHurdyGurdyMan.]

Phil Royster I honestly just did it by eye haha. Here’s the sad thing though: I haven’t even shot it yet 😫 all the shooting ranges have been closed since COVID 19 and I don’t exactly live near any woodsy areas. Guess I’ll find out how well I did once the ranges open up again haha

[@brianmac1900]

@@xblast196 honestly Glocks shot a little sloppy but they are dependable. Get custom 1911 or cz shadow2 of you want to put holes through holes.

[@chriszablocki2460]

Nice.

[@RubenPerez-zu7xj]

How tight js too tight? I had to use a driver on the lever for more leverage to turn it.

[@blaster229]

What are the measurement tick marks(ruler thingy) for above the slide mover/on the blue frame? Is this supposed to be for centering help? Because if it is, then it is not explained anywhere. Even on the PDF.

[@ncstar]

The tick marks are only for reference. There's no specific way to use them. You can use them to center your slide, sights etc.

[@blaster229]

@@ncstar Thank you. That's what I thought, but my OCD needed me to ask. :)

[@Whitearrow01]

was that front sight a metal staked in night sight by any chance? i've got a gen 3 26 that has factory night sights that are staked in and wondering how best to remove em with damaging the slide finish or oval hole that its mounted thru.

[@ncstar]

No metal stake. It was an older 26 that didn't have a hex screw.

[@darkpassenger65]

I just ordered your front/rear sight tool. Is there a specific direction of movement to install and remove sights?

[@ncstar]

That's dependent on the firearm. Some pistols do need sight removed/installed in a specific direction and some do not. You would need to check with manufacturer of the firearm.

[@darkpassenger65]

@@ncstar thank you. I thought there may be some kind of standard. silly me.

[@JustDefense]

Vertec front sight?

[@jmstanza]

Will the polymer inserts cause any type of scars on my slide, particularly the side two? Do I need to put something between them and the slide? I would think that I would not have to being that they are polymer. Thanks

[@jmstanza]

I forgot to add that I will be using on a Glock slide, Gen3, if that matters. Just wanting to know if I have to worry about any type of damage to the finish? Thanks again.

[@ncstar]

The polymer inserts are there to prevent marring. It's always possible to scratch your slide but the polymer inserts minimize the likelihood of that happening.

[@a1day133]

why not just wrap it in painters tape or something if your that worried

[@fireguy_75]

Mine bent the heck out of the stock plastic Glock rear sight...is this normal? Also, got more of a gap under one end of the rear sight compared to the other side which looks flat up against the slide...what did I do wrong?

[@davidgunther1282]

You have to push it out from left to right, and in right to left. One way in, one way out. One end is actually larger than the other and if you get it wrong you could damage the sight which sounds like what happened to you.

[@byronh77]

​@David Gunther well he didn't follow that process installing this rear sight, he pushed it out correctly, but installed the sight left to right instead of right to left.

[@stephenmaurer7008]

Anyone use this tool for IWI Masada or SIG p320 pistols?? I want to put a set of night sights on my IWI Masada 9mm.

[@NRASUPPORTER1911]

Will this work on my Glock 43? Thanks

[@ncstar]

Yes

[@anthonyjaramillo6539]

How do you change the slide holder for a Glock?

[@ncstar]

Not sure what you're asking. It's set up for the Glock in the video. Can you specify what you're asking?

[@BasedGodZero]

Would this work on Ameriglo XL suppressor sights?

[@ncstar]

It should work fine with those sights.

[@martinvilla331]

will this work on my Kimber Raptor II ?

[@ncstar]

It should work fine on your Kimber Rapor II

[@paulf1256]

Does this work with Beretta 92 FS compact?

[@ncstar]

Yes, it should work fine with a Beretta 92FS compact.

[@christopherwatts7105]

What gen 26 is that?

[@AntonioPascotto_AP]

Elle, is there the same for Beretta APX?

[@ncstar]

This is only for the rear sight using our VTUPRS Rear sight pusher too. For your Beretta, you would want to use the VTUFNR Front and Rear sight tool. Link: www.ncstar.com/new-arrivals/new-optics-and-accessories/vtufnr-univ-front-rear-adj-toolblu

[@stevenkennedy4130]

My local gunsmith charges $40.00, to put on new sights. Bought one of their sight tools, & did it myself. 2 pistols later, it payed for itself. Anyone need their sights changed? $30.00...

[@ncstar]

Nice

[@joemoneytaker1766]

Can you remove front sights that slide like the rear sights with this tool? Thanks

[@ncstar]

No, it is designed specifically for rear sights and we do not recommend using it for front sights.

[@randalls.martin6515]

I thought it was left to right out and right to left in,,,?

[@ncstar]

It is. It was left to right in the video.

[@randalls.martin6515]

Touché,,,,my error. I think it was your prior video. Sorry,,,,,

[@hootie191]

read your owners Manuel. you are absolutely right , the female slot is slightly dove tailed with the widest point on the right of the slide {as you are looking at it from the rear}

[@krkabob]

Hate mine, stripped out first time I used it. Sending it back.

[@ncstar]

Never seen one strip out before. Contact the warranty department and they may be able to send you replacement parts or replace it under warranty. [e-mail]

[@PANCHOVILLA4U67]

Just received mine today from amazon and so far it’s a FAIL. My sights get stuck at about the half way mark and won’t move any further, at that point the end nut comes right off. If I don’t get this resolved by tomorrow back to amazon this device must go. I wanna try exhaust all possibilities and makes sure I’m not at fault though.

[@aasillak]

Will this work on a Sig Sauer 2022 slide?

[@ncstar]

The VTUPRS Universal rear sight tool should work fine on the rear sight. The front sight tool is strictly for Glock's though and will not work on a Sig.
