I used a 4.95 brass drift punch and it worked great. I put a hi viz on my M&P and one on my Ruger SR9c. I don't see why a 140 dollar tool is needed. I put duct tap on both sides of my slide and then a piece of leather in the vice and put some pressure on it. Tapped out the dove tail sight and then the new one back in. goes from left to right out and to put in right to left. I flattened the side of the drift punch with a file to get more contact with the sight and not a problem. As far as the rear sight on the M&P use a gallon ziplock bag and put a hold in it for the punch and then just put the spring and plate back on when you are ready to install the new sight.
