20+ years ago when I and many others around me (friends and LEO's) were heavy in to the Sig P226 series of pistols, I invested in to a very nice sight pusher meant specifically for that gun. It has served me and others very well. I think I paid $110 for it. There is no branding on the pusher, otherwise I'd look to see if I could find the parts to swap out the SIGARMS rail guides and piston parts, etc., for the M&P, but no luck.

Long story short... I'm asking if anyone can recommend a decent pusher for the M&P 2.0 series of pistols. Thanks!

EDIT: Just found this thread down the line... I guess should have looked more diligently prior to posting. Sorry. Any use this on the M&P 2.0??? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B3NU0U2?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1

I have a Wheeler sight pusher tool and it works very well. I needed to purchase a better way of adjusting sights, as today's crop of hand gun sights seem to be very tightly fitted beyond what I wanted to do with a hammer and punch. Many of the pistols now come with night sights that contain glass vials of tritium and I just do not feel comfortable using a hammer and punch. The sight pusher tools also allow much more precision and slow adjustment that one cam actually measure.

They usually run about $135 and this tool will probably be used very seldom but when you need it - it shines. I have only used it for myself two times but many times for friends, neighbors and Gun Club members. If you are just adjusting a single sight I suppose it's hard to justify the expense, but if you are a professional GS, a semi pro or just a hobbyist that is constantly adjusting pistol sights, then it is a valuable upgrade.

If you intend on using this once every 5 years, just find someone who owns one or visit a local GS who has one. Can't imagine he's charge too much to drift a sight.

Here's a related thread:


I've used that Wheeler press, ironically on old Sigs but not M&Ps, I suspect it would work fine.

As background, I bought my old DA/SA P239 long ago, at a serious discount, as a "scratch & dent" because the gun store owner gouged up the slide using a hammer & drift set to install night sights. Years later, when I wanted to change the sights, a buddy of mine swore that he could do it for me with his hammer & drift set. After that second round of damage, I just bought the Wheeler and did it drama free. Poor gun....It's all gouged up (and hopelessly unfashionable among the "YouTube Gun Bros"). It still shoots great, though.

The Wyoming sight drifter is not only good for the front sight but it also works amazing on pins. I have found a multitude of other things to use it on as well. They are expensive but in my opinion well worth the money
