can this be used to remove a rear sight from a dovetail on a 1911 while the slide is still attched to the frame?

No, the only correct way to remove the dovetail rear sight is by removing the slide, place in a vise and tap it out from the left side to the right side with a brass tap and hammer. Leaving the slide on the rails will potentially damage the rails of the frame.

I believe it would having held the sight mount and a 92fs. You will definitely clear it width wise but the height may be cutting it close- I feel you will be ok since the top of the slide is relieved where the top of this sight mount would rest. Try it and if it doesn't fit send it back

ifyou would mount it foward on a mount rail and had a rear sight that fits your rail it might work

I own the Sig 1911-22. I installed my sights on my S&W; E series 1911 .45. I checked with a micrometer, won't work. The 22 rear dovetail is 0.45" and the sight is 0.43". The front on the 22 is 0.308" but he sight is 0.23". Way too small. I believe they are specifically made as a drop in for S&W; 1911s by S&W.;

Yes, they will and remember you will need a removal tool. MGW 317 sight tool or a sightpusher.com. Take your time, hard at first ,front site is hardest.

No. This tool is for removing the main three pins of the trigger component group. The front sight requires a different tool and the rear sight requires a larger no mar drift punch.

The dovetail is the same but the slide length to the rear is not, some M&P; sights might extend over the end. Also be aware that the Shield sights are VERY tight, if you intend to do the install yourself, have a proper vice and non-marring or brass taps.

As in moving a dovetailed front or rear sight? No way, it's too big. You will need a specialized tool.

Any hammer (well, almost any) would work for that because you have to use a screwdriver or something similar to actually make the contact on the sight. Use a screwdriver with the widest contact area possible. That will help keep the force evenly distributed and help prevent the sight from binding or cocking in the dovetail channel.

IT will work but clamp it in a vise. And if you dont get the one with the stepped spacer blocks tape some thing to each side of your slide to make it flat or it will twist on you. The xd sights come off pretty hard but it will do it

Please don't put this on a WW2 1911. It damaged the finish at the trigger and fell off after 10 rounds on my Ruger SR1911. Save some extra money and buy a magnetic rail adapter like the Ariete which has padding on the contact points http://shop.ramlite.com/M1911-M1911-A1-1911-All-makes_c3.htm

I am also willing to bet that Glock slides have standard dovetails. Do not forget to use a good threadlock compound to secure the front sight. This sight works great on my Model 20SF.

Yes, when removing the plunger on the rear sight be sure to do it carefully so you don't lose the spring

Haven't ever used it for that, but I don't see how it could be a problem. It is graphite based, so unless the interferes with the material that the gun slide is made out of I would certainly doubt there would be any harm.

Yes but you will need to drill out the front sight .first take a pair of pliers and brake the front sight blade off then drill it out put sight in and Brad the sight post .mine is on a full size 1911 a1.

I've got it for a 1911. I never tried it with a glock 30 but my guess is that the glock would be way to wide in the slide for it.

The tool is not designed to be used for these sights. I did use the tool to fit the sights it took a lot of manipulation to fit them.
