Does anyone know if a Glock site tool would work to install night sights on a M&P9c? And how different would the
Front sight install process be from a Glock? Meaning are the tools and steps the same, I know a Glock armorer who said he could install them for me if his Glock tools would work, he just hasn't worked on M&Ps before. Thanks for any assistance. |

A Glock tool won't work at all.
The Glock sight is attached with a small screw-like bolt from inside the slide. The M&P is a standard dovetailed sight that slides out. You can drive the sights out with a drift, but there's a risk of damaging the night sights. For this reason, most people who do night sight installation use a professional sight pusher jig. Unfortunately, these tools are expensive, especially for a one-time job. You could buy a tool and once you've installed your sights, sell the tool on Ebay or on the sales site here. Prices start around $100. Brownell's sell all the good types: http://www.brownells.com/ You can try the brass or hard nylon drift and hammer, but if you damage the night sights, you're out the money. |
