Could anyone advise me how to properly install a rear sight on the dagger compact? I was able to get the rear sight off, but the new suppresser height sight is extremely tight to get on. What's the best tool to use?
Thanks, Joe |

I bought a universal sight pusher from Amazon. You can adjust the tool to fit about any size slide or sights.
Here is a link to the sight pusher I bought. I use a couple C clamps to mount it to a table or counter. There are several similar models for sale on Amazon that have similar features. For occasional use the one I bought ought to last me. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DMZDD6V?tag=arfcom00-20 |

Make sure to use a site tool that the slide fits in. Don't mount the slide on a mount that the rails slide on. Apparently some people do that and that's a good way to damage your slide where it meets the rails due to how tight the sites are mounted.

But then I needed to move a dovetailed front sight. Hindsight being 20/20 - Buy once, cry once: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SGXF997?tag=arfcom00-20 |
