Sight Adjustment Tool

(Moderators, I have no idea where this thread should be located. Please move it to the appropriate area.)

Here is a sight adjustment tool I have not seen previously. When did S&W introduce this tool and for what firearm?

Thank you.

I have no idea when the tools was included in the box with new revolvers but I have had one on my key ring for a long time. At least 25 years. I have a couple of new ones also. All the blue is gone from the key ring tool. very handy actually.

They're common. Supica states that 1991 is when that style was introduced. Buy his book!

What's a screwdriver worth?

It seems that oval SAT was introduced around 1991. There were several versions with different size holes.

Thank you for that information. Great! Another SAT to collect!

I have several of the round SATs with four blades. You almost can't find a slotted screw on any gun for which the right blade can't be found.

IMHO, they symbolize the depth to which non-gun bean counters in positions of authority could take S&W. I have one of those pieces of dreck in the box for my Model 631 because that's what came with it, not because I plan to ever use it. I'm sure they saved way less than a dollar per unit to go from a real screw driver type SAT. Boy, do I miss the days when gun people still controlled S&W!
