Real Avid’s New Pistol Sight Tool Takes Frustration Out Of Changing Sights
Have you ever needed an easy-to-use pistol sight tool to swap out your handgun’s sights? One of the most common modifications gun owners do themselves is to swap out handgun sights for either tritium night sights or high visibility fiber optics.
Real Avid is a company that specializes in tools for do-it-yourself gun projects. The company’s new Master Sight Pusher™ is an innovative tool designed to easily and safely remove and install press-fit pistol sights.
Sight Tool Fits Most Pistol Dovetails
The Master Sight Pusher is a professional grade tool that makes quick work out of replacing or upgrading pistol sights. This modern gunsmithing tool is heavy-duty, built to last and smartly designed to work with almost all modern pistol sights and slides. The oversized, ergonomic Easy Torque Handle™ partners with extra-fine-drive threads to provide maximum torque with minute adjustment capabilities for precise sight alignment.
A reversible universal press block features multiple contact surfaces for almost any size and style of press-fit dovetail slots and sight profiles.
The slide cradle is adjustable, with non-marring contact surfaces to deliver a secure hold on both 1911 pistols and pistols with flat-bottom slides.
The Master Sight Pusher also includes spring-loaded vertical adjustment knobs as well as a safe lock anti-torsion frame for optimal control.
For Do-It-Yourself Pistol Sight Upgrades
“Upgrading pistol sights is one of the first things serious shooters will do to their handguns. And night sight upgrades are especially important to home and personal defense practitioners,” said Howard Tripp, Real Avid chief innovation officer. “The problem many DIY enthusiasts face is conquering the interference-fit dovetail configuration found on most of the popular handguns. Lacking the proper removal and installation tools, the task is difficult. That expensive gun or sight set can be easily damaged. Our new Master Sight Pusher eliminates this problem and is adaptable to work with most 1911 and striker-fired pistols on the market today.”
Pistol Sight Tool Attaches To Work Bench
Another great feature of The Master Sight Pusher is the bench face attachment ridge, which allows for simple attachment to any work bench. The oversized and comfortable Easy Torque Handle makes turning a breeze and features an integrated 3/8 ratchet receiver to provide additional leverage for pushing stubborn or seized sights. A heavy-duty grip helps secure the tool while turning the oversized Easy Torque Handle.
“At Real Avid, our focus is to provide tooling and task solutions for the DIY gun enthusiast,” said Dave Steiner, Real Avid president. “Since pistol sights represent one of the most common and needful upgrades for shooters, and since most handgun enthusiasts own more than one make or style of pistol, it made sense for us to develop a universal-style sight pusher. The new Master Sight Pusher allows shooters to install their favorite sight without going to a gunsmith or purchasing a costly sight installer for each model handgun they use.”
