I have done this a bunch with hammer and steel punch. Most of them actually look pretty good. I generally don’t use brass as it tends to absorb some of the impact, it seems! A well dressed steel punch with appropriate hammer weight has moved mountains!
That said, I think my skill is slipping. So…..I’m thinking about a pusher….did I mention this would be my 3rd pusher? One pusher damaged a slide. The other ate itself….yep, the window bent!
So, I’m skeptical about buying a pusher. What works? YouTube is kind of leaning towards the Wheeler design or some knock offs of the same. I see these work, but the videos are always Glocks which are the easiest. What moves the really jammed up metal sights like XD or S&W or tight 1911’s
