Glock sight adjustment

[Dee_Dub]

The other day I noticed that my glock sight is canted to the left. Id like to fix this issue with my glock. Has anyone experienced this? Im not sure what caused this.

I’m thinking it’s the rear sight that’s slightly drifted to the left? Is it the factory polymer sight or aftermarket?

Need more info. What do you mean by "canted?" Front sight or rear sight?

Tap your rear sight to the right...

front sight? Rear sight? Factory polymer sight? Aftermarket metal sight?

If it's the rear, slight tap should do it, I see you're in SoCal, if you're by LA I have the rear pusher tool and front screwdriver.

rear sight, its the factory polymer sight.

Push it to the right...?

Push with your thumb!

I tried pushing it... tapped it with a small rubber hammer. I noticed that I left marks on the sight. I d like to move it without causing damage. Will this require a sight tool?

I’ve removed and installed Glock factory rear sights with just the end of the plastic handle of a medium size screw driver. The tension the polymer sights exert on the slide’s dovetail doesn’t require much force to overcome. If you want more precise strikes get a 1/3” or 1/2” nylon rod. Place the nylon rod on the side bottom area of the rear sight and use a small hammer to strike the nylon rod. If you have a bench vise then you’re gold, just make sure you have padded vise jaws to prevent scratching the slide. I would only mount the slide on the vise, but don’t put too much pressure as you don’t want to crack the rails. You can also stick masking tape on the side of the sight and the end of the nylon rod to prevent marks.

Thank you JTROKS! Ill give that a shot tomorrow. I appreciate the helpful tips.

If you don't have the sight pusher (or access to one) this is about the best advice you can get.

But - Please take the gun to the range and see how it is hitting on the target when YOU shoot the weapon. Every person views the sight alignment and subsequent sight picture a little differently. As an example I used to shoot with a partner that when we used the same weapon he would shoot several inches to the right of me - every time. So he would require a different rear sight position on every weapon we would shoot together. Both of our groups were fine we just saw the sights differently.

I will try this later today, Thanks Ill be taking it to the range next month when I have some free time.
