Xdm sight removal. Thread starter jspeligene Start date Dec 23, Anybody got a tool for removing these ugly ass sights without damaging the finish on the gun? Click to expand Does not include shoe clamp as they are specific for each pistol.
Due to customer feedback regarding purchasing the 30 degree angle block separately, MGW has improved the design of the main body to make it easier to swap out the pusher blocks. The support shaft that is opposite of the threaded T-handle was smooth with no key. In order to remove the shaft which is Left Hand Threaded into the main threaded shaft, it was necessary to clamp the smooth support shaft in a vise.
This risked damaging the smooth surface and could gall in the aluminum body. This was the reason MGW initially offered a complete carriage assembly for each block. Right to Left. The sight moves easily. Apply same principles in the reverse order to install new sights. Piece of cake. B Duncan — February 19, If you are interested in changing sights on several different pistols this is a great tool.
I received it last night and changed a set of sights in about 30 minutes. Did not have to pay a gunsmith or be without my slide for several days. Well worth the money if you are a DIYer. Dennis R — April 15, The sight pusher would not move the front sight on the XDM.
I had to use a cutting tool. The rear sight worked very well. Very tight but using a vise it came off. The XDS was much easier. Both front and rear sights came off. Now, lets talk about the sight pusher. It works without any problem on the rear sight. It however, is a major pain to work the front sight. The recoil rod retainer is in the way as the sight pusher is designed. I had to design a work around to make it work. Last, directions are non-existent. So I can recommend this for seasoned home gunsmiths.
It is very strong and reasonable priced. All others, I recommend going to a gunsmith that works on XDs. Oh by the way, my front sight came out easier than the back. Purchase with Confidence because it does work very well. Front and rear sights came right out no problems at all. What took the longest amount of time was waiting for the lock tight to set. If you have a half of a brain you can work this rig.
Im no gunsmith either…If anyone needs to replace their sights this is the tool you want to use. Buy with confidence. I have not attempted once since. Thinking something that clamps around the frame and aligns a pressing pin to the sight and can then be put in the arbor press to direct even force from the press directly down onto the dovetail base of the front or rear sight.
If 6 tons wouldn't move them out Jun 13, 8 San Antonio, Tejas. A couple of years ago I made a jig to hold XD slides that uses a small hydraulic press to remove sights. It works like a champ and is quick and easy to use. Sorry I cant include a pic because it's at my shop at the moment. If you wouldn't mind getting some pics of it when you're at your shop at somepoint I'd appreciate it. Sights went back in okay with a little stoning, but having a press jig for future XDs would definitely be worth it --Wintermute.
Jul 5, 4, 6, Colorado. I got the rear off my xdm, the front I had to cut in half to get it out. After market sights are better and easy to fit. Mar 6, 1, 40 CA.
I do it all the time. Do you mean the XRing sight pusher? As far as I was able to find, MTM is a case company as in plastic storage cases. Or do you have a link to the product? Thanks, --Wintermute. Sorry MGW sight tool. Freaking predictive texting T Sergeant Full Member.
