The sights are on very tight. My gun guy put mine in a padded vice and used a block and small hammer to tap it out.

As for Badge130 .. I have a Glock too and it has NO WHERE a sweet of a trigger after ATEI replaced the trigger, shortened the preset and other goodies to it on my Shield compared to my G19 3rd gen .. not even close!

Doug needs to fix/update the *coming soon* as he is accepting mail orders.

If you are so dead set that Glocks are better, why are you here on a S&W forum?

bisley45,

My Shield 9MM REAR SIGHT was EXTREMELY TIGHT, remove the set screw, soak with some penetrating oil.

We had TWO different Sight Pushers on it before it moved and came out, it moves from LEFT to RIGHT.

The Shields FRONT SIGHT is the one that's adjustable for SIGHT ALIGNMENT. The REAR Sight is NOT adjustable as such, but REMOVABLE for sight REPLACEMENT.

Some say they had an easier time on sight removal, but I did not, mine was a BEAR to remove.

Be careful, there is a RETAINING COVER and SPRING under the rear sight for the Striker Block that can fly out.


Badge130,

Trigger Kits, such as those produced by Apex Tactical, are meant to make a GOOD TRIGGER a GREAT TRIGGER.

MANY A GLOCK has had its trigger reworked.

I thought this Was a S&W FORUM anyway, not Glock T_ _ K?????

The SHIELD is an AMERICAN PRODUCED firearm made by FINE AMERICAN CRAFTSMEN.

Why even respond to 130. He just posted to agitate. He had nothing to contribute to the thread. He gets his thrill by soliciting responses. We need an ignore button.

Glock's are fine, but why bring them into a thread when the topic is nowhere near one? I agree with y'all no need. Now back to the OP's theme I say.

I also can't get the rear sight to break loose. (shield 40) I hit it way harder than I ever have hit a sight. Used heat also. Have some micro freeze I will try next.
badge130, they all work fine when they never leave the holster .

Please stay on subject. I'm sure you have knowledge, but you detract from the topic and are not being helpful to us new guys. Thanks.

Since this is a Shield thread, who cares.
