After having one heck of a time manually replacing my MP M2.0 sights with Ameri-Glo replacements with nothing more than a punch & BFH, I have to ask:
What is the best Front and Rear Handgun Sight Tool to do this on MP handguns? Wheeler Armorer's? Lyman AccuSight? MGW Range Master? Other?
I ask this because I picked up another 9mm MP M2.0, this time in 5in, and I DO NOT want the headaches of the similar experiences imaged V...below...V
I bought a MGW Range Master, because it immobilizes the slide by clamping on the rails. They are a machined surface , so the pusher itself is perfectly aligned and the forces exerted can't get an angled torque. All forces are in line. I don't want to damage either the slide or the sight.
I've been replacing sights on several of my guns with the night sight/fiber optic combination {Truglo TFX Pro sights}
Wheeler tool is hard to beat for the price and one that is pretty much universal.
A quick note that installing night sights using any type of punch will most likely void any warranty. I had a set of Tritiums that went dead not long after installing and going to the range. When I called the manufacturer to report the issue and ask for a return authorization, their first question was if the sights had been installed using punch/hammer as that method would void any warranty. I informed them I had used an MGW sight pusher and was good to go.

I had a B&J Machine & Tool pusher I bought from Brownell's for $130, it was pretty worthless on the M&P sights. Sold it and just use a brass punch and BFH. it will leave some brass marks on the base of the sights, but the brass marks come off with some CLP on a rag.
