Sight Install Capability

The DIY-Series is the ideal solution to install XS R3D night sights and can install competitors sights. R3D rear sight dovetails use proprietary easypress dovetail features that lower the overall force needed for installation. The rear sight features a crush zone that conforms to the slide’s dovetail and a lead-in chamfer to allow the sight to travel 1/3 through the cutout before pressure is applied to the sight. R3D night sights are up to 50% easier to install than competitors. The DIY-Series is not capable of installing sights with angled side walls.

Optic / Suppressor Height Sights

The DIY-Series rear sight pusher can install optic height and suppressor height sights on aftermarket optic cut slides. The optic and factory plate cover must be installed before mounting the tool on the slide.

Applying Force More Efficiently

The inline design applies force low in the dovetail and precisely in the direction the sight needs to be pushed. The low placement on the dovetail is a tried-and-true practice of gunsmiths using hammers and punches to drive sights in.

Drive Sights in with Ease

The DIY-Series drive bolt uses a stainless steel 3” 5/16”- 24 bolt and a 3-inch 3/16” Allen Key. The wrench gives users a solid handle to grip and prevents stripping the bolt head. The 4” handles offer adequate leverage for installing R3D Night Sights.

Built in Centering Scale

Note which hash mark on the brass touches the white mark on the base. Then flip the slide 180 degrees and repeat the measurement check. To achieve a proper center, the hash mark on the brass should match both sides. The scale is 1/16," and 1.5 bolt rotations equals 1/16th" of travel.

Written use and installation instructions PDF

* Maximum tool life is estimated based on installing XS R3D Night Sights in Glock OEM slides. Aftermarket slides do not mirror Glock’s exact dovetail. Users should expect to apply 50% to 75% more force on aftermarket slides which will apply more load on the tool, reducing its lifespan.
