Tried the whack the rear sight with a drift pin and a hammer on my $1000 CZ 75 B Tactical and as it didn't move, I am looking at getting a universal sight tool. Anyone have experience with these and which did you choose?

VS the newer Universal Kaiser Uni-200L for sale at Top Gun Supply for $ 139.00 http://www.topgunsupply.com/sight-installation-tools/

Rather than spend $100 for a model specific sight adjustment tool, thought I'd go Universal for any new pistol trades I do, or new pistols I get in the future. Price is much less important than utility and ability. Any advice or knowledge you share would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I've used the B&J Machine Model 500 for 5-6 years, and have yet to have a gun it doesn't work with. It's more trouble than a dedicated (by gun brand) mover, but it'll do the job. (I've used it with 1911s, SIGs, CZs, BHPs, etc.)

(Don't forget that the dovetail on a CZ is narrower on one end than the other. Need to move the sight OUT to the right, when looking from the rear, I believe.)
 
I've been using a P500 that I got from Brownells for about 5 years myself. It's worked really well on most slides. Somtimes it does take a little bit to get it setup (perfectly straight) just right but it'll work. The only thing I couldn't get it to work on was the Springfield XD sights as it wouldn't move the sight, it just broke the "nipple" (not sure what it's called) off the screw that you actually turn to push the sight out. I called Brownells and ordered a new screw for it.
