The fine family of folks at XS Sights has put out a couple of new Glock sight-pushing tools for people who would rather work on their own guns at home or the professional gunsmith this year at SHOT. This new duo of tools are meant to make installing Glock sights super easy and marless with the new XS Sights DIY-Series Sight Pusher and the Gunsmith-Series Sight Pusher. Both tools work the same way with a threaded pusher to remove, install, and adjust Glock sights. Both of the tools are ruggedly built but still compact so you can take them with you to the range to fine-tune your sights. While both sight-pushers are similar there are a couple features that are different between the DIY grade and Gunsmith Sight Pushers
The Gunsmith-Series of Sight Pushers is a professional-grade tool made tough for gunsmith use. Designed to have a life span of at least 200 sight installations, this is a solidly built tool. The brass bit is pushed by a threaded bit that uses a steel front sight tool for the handle. The steel front sight tool also has a magnetic tip to help you keep track of your sights. It will fit all Glock OEM and aftermarket slides and uses a brass pusher and plastic wedge to keep marring from happening on your slides.
GUNSMITH-Series Sight Pusher Features:
- Tool Life Span: 200+ Installations*
- Kit includes professional grade sight pusher
- Multi-function handle / magnetic steel Glock front sight tool
- Fits all Glock OEM and Aftermarket slides
- Glock MOS Compatible – Install sights with optic mounted on pistol
- Non-marring brass bit prevents scratching sights or slides
- Built-in Centering Scale – 1/16” scale
- Bolt Thread Pitch: 1/16” – 1.5 Bolt rotations equals 1/16” of travel
- Designed and Manufactured in Fort Worth, TX
- MSRP – $200.00
[SHOT 2023] NEW Glock Sight Pusher from XS Sights
The DIY-Series of Sight Pushers is more for the at-home hobbyist that changes out irons for themselves and maybe their friends. The pusher uses a hex key bolt and hex key to push the brass bit that will move the sights. The DIY-Series Sight Pusher should last about 50-100 installations more than enough for the occasional sight adjustment.

- Tool Life Span: 50 – 100 Installations*
- Kit includes semi-professional sight pusher and steel Glock front sight tool
- Fits all Glock OEM and Aftermarket slides
- Glock MOS Compatible – Install sights with optic mounted on pistol
