Default Any Sight Pusher Recomendations?

I am looking for a sight pusher for my 5" Pro Series 40. I tried "tapping" the rear sight out with a light hammer and brass punch, but the thing is in tighter than I want to bang on it. Any sage suggestions?

Member epj makes and sells a good one. I bought and used one on my Shield sights change out. I doubt I could have removed my front sight with a hammer and punch without damaging the slide...it was REALLY TIGHT!

One the 5" model a special order pusher is required if you want to push the front sight. It's a half inch wider than the standard model.

Seriously, try a larger hammer and a steel punch. I've yet to hurt an M&P without a pusher. A little common sense and elbow grease go a long way.

Epj I went to your site the first part of the week to get a site pusher and filled out the request for info as I could not figure out how to order it and pay for in on the web site. I have heard back so dropped the gun off at a smith today. I didn't want to order a cheap piece of junk off Amazon plus those required removing the safety. PM me please. Don

I use a wooden dowel and a hammer. Works fine.

Hammer and punch works but it is hard to make accurate sight adjustments that way. Don

That is one nice looking pusher. And reasonably priced to boot. I paid almost twice that for my XD pusher but that was way before I decided to get the M&P. When I go to change sights for the M&P I will order one from you.

my front sight was tight as can be, I bought a sight pusher from a guy here in San Diego, it still would not budge, I put tension on the sight pusher and put the whole thing in my freezer overnight and the next morning it had moved and I was able to get it centered. Worked for me

If you look in the notable threads at the top of this section, there is a series of pics using my tool on a couple of different Shields.

I got the B&J P500 Pro Universal Gun Sight Tool and am pretty happy with it.
This was my first attempt at any work on my M&Ps, but I was able to remove the sites on my FS 40, Shield, and Bodyguard.

B & J Arms

It is about $280 from Midway.

Years back, I needed to move the rear sight on a 4006. The combination of my thriftiness and the cost of that B&J tool are what led to the development of the JMT pushers.
