[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1040773, member: 1132"] The biggest problem I've necountered with universal sight tools is their tendency to torque the slide out of the vice area as you apply pressure with the pusher, especially on tight dovetails like Kahr, Sig and S&W. I used a Meprolight tool for several years and had to make all sorts of interesting widgets to keep that from happening. Reinstalling old sights or installing new ones wasn't as much of an issue because I'd carefully file down the sight for a snug but not overly tight fit. It was getting the factory ones off that was a PITA. Whenever possible I prefer to use factory type tools that secure the slide by the rails rather than the sides of the slide. It's a much safer and more secure method. [/QUOTE]
