Brownells USA About Half 09/04/2018

I have no idea what I will use the large one for. I have a sight pusher, but for easy stuff I thought these could save some time. The first gun I needed the small one for was a Springfield XDm40. The front sight on this gun was too narrow for my sight pusher. Well, it was too small for even the small punch. And the punch was too fragile. I sanded off enough material so that it would enter the dovetail, and it quickly broke. I've done two other handguns since the Springfield, (diff. brands) and none had large enough dovetails to use the large punch.

Brownells USA Good tool 11/12/2017

bought this to replace the front sight on my M&P Shield. had to file down the small punch by about .030 in order for the dovetail to fit in the sight slot. worked great after the punch was filed down.
