SW1911--Need to exchange the front sight.

Rafter-S · #1 10-16-2009, 10:51 PM

I need to exchange the FRONT sight on a SW1911 with a taller one. I have the new sight, but now I need to remove the one on it. I prefer not to beat on the sights (taking the old one off and putting the new one on) with anything but rather use a screw-type drift tool. Any ideas of where I could find one?

Thanks.

Brownells or Midwayusa should have them.

Thanks for the suggestion. After some looking and reading, it appears the Kimber Universal Sight Installation Tool is the best I could find. At $599 it will be quiet an investment. A better idea might be to find a gunsmith who has the tool and pay him for the exchange.
