    What is the best universal sight pusher that doesn’t cost hundreds of dollars? Under $100 specifically. I’ve read reviews and articles about various ones, but opinions and “experiences” are all over the map. I see NcStar pop up, but for some reason my mind automatically thinks “Trash!” with any NcStar product. I want one to replace and adjust sights on various handguns Glock, S&W, Beretta, etc. I won’t be using it on a daily basis, but possibly monthly or weekly depending on who needs sights adjusted or replaced.

    Get the wheeler one and buy once cry once. The NcStar one works great on rear sights doesn't work worth a crap on front sights. I have no experience with any other ones.

    I borrowed the wheeler. Works great. It was just over $100 late last year and I should have bought one then as the best price I've seen since is $130 with jumps to $150. If you don't need it now then put it in your Amazon cart and watch it for a drop.

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I saw the Wheeler on, but wanted to hear from someone with personal experience with one. Will it work with all sights...angled, straight, etc? All slides too?

    Only way I’d pay $300 for one is if I were replacing sights everyday and making money doing it. Even then I don’t know if I would.

    I only used it once so I don't remember exactly but it has some extra pieces you swap out to handle angled sites. It looks like it can handle any slide as the operating area is huge.

    My buddy called a gun shop this morning to see about having his rear sight drifted to center. $45!! That’s asinine for something that takes a few minutes max to drift a few millimeters.

    Another vote for Wheeler. It won’t flex, adjusts easily and will work on straight and angled sights. The cheapest route is doing it right the first time. I’ve tried several cheaper options and ended up the the wheeler.
