Good product .. some things to know - NcSTAR Universal Pistol Rear Sight Tool

This is a very good piece of kit ... works as described and as expected however.. i work in sales of firearms and have had some experience with this tool at work as well as now at home and as such .. some reviews i have seen on other sites ect seem to imply that its poorly made or does not work as intended

so there are some things to know.. first .. it works as intended as long as you do some things correctly .. tighten it all up and set the shelf height properly when installing your slide

second.. it CANNOT break a hard hold on a rear sight dovetail.. you will HAVE to help it start IE get a brass punch and hammer and tap the rear sight a couple times to break the loctite or just tension in general after that lock it in the vism and crank it out without any damage to the sight/pistol/tool

lastly .. it very clearly says on the tool to oil everything first... that means .. .oil everything first i used some lucas extreme gun oil and within a minute everything was moving smoothly and as you would expect

if you follow those simple rules this thing will provide many years of service and do its job well
