Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the XS Sights Sight Pusher unique compared to other models on the market?

The XS Sights Sight Pusher is designed with a compact footprint, making it more portable. Its brass pusher bit contacts the sight at the lowest possible edge, ensuring force is applied directly to the dovetail and reducing the risk of binding or angled installation, especially with suppressor height sights.

What are the differences between the DIY and Gunsmith versions of the XS Sights Sight Pusher?

The DIY model uses a hex key for operation and is more affordable. The Gunsmith model features a T-handle for easier use, a magnet to retain the handle, and a heavier base for increased stability, making it ideal for frequent use in a professional setting.

Can the XS Sights Sight Pusher be used on all Glock models?

Yes, the XS Sights Sight Pusher is designed to work with all Glock models, from the compact G42 and G43 up to larger models like the G20 and G21. A foam wedge is included to help accommodate the slide geometry of slimmer models.

What new products is XS Sights developing?

XS Sights is working on a direct replacement plate for the Glock MOS system. This new plate will feature an enhanced recoil interface for better optic stability and a stronger screw design to increase the longevity of the optic mount.
