If there is such a thing (for moving the sight in a dovetail slot) for 1911s, Glocks, etc.

Check out the videos from Dawson Precision. He's an expert on the subject. I've had great success with his method.

Note that those who have repeatedly expressed enough vile and incoherent content as to render your views irrelevant, have been placed on my ignore list. Thank you for helping me improve my experience and direct my attention towards those who are worthy of it. God bless your toxic little souls.Comment

That's the previous gen sight pusher. VISM just pushed out a newer version which beefs up those areas.
Still just as affordable.

If you're willing to sell a kidney you can try this one:
You buy the shoes separately for the model of gun you are working with. It is built like a tank but it will not work on sights that have windage/elevation adjustments. It will tear them up. The links already posted from Dawson Precision are valuable. The tool has a great advantage over the vice/hammer/punch method when you are tweaking sights at the range.Send Lawyers, Guns and Money - On second thought, hold the Lawyers.Comment

That's interesting. Sure there isn't a bit of user error there? Mine has worked fine for the half dozen night sight installs and adjustments on glocks (G26.3, G26.4, G19.2, G19.3, G19.5, G17.3, G17.5, G34.3, G43, G43X) I've done or friends and family.
Had you said you had issues with XD or S&W Shields or Kimbers... yeah, those sights are notoriously difficult to replace and might break this thing, but really, you're paying $50 vs $135(glock) vs $300 (MGW sightpro) vs $650 (meprolight). Let's have some realistic expectations folks.
Think of it as the harbor freight version of sight tools, inexpensive, works, not made with the same unicorn dust as the version which costs 4-10x as much. That said, plenty of other good options presented here as well.

If you look at the threads of the pusher they are VERY fine.If you're willing to sell a kidney you can try this one:

This will help for small adjustments.
Some pushers have larger course threads and make it harder to "fine tune"Comment
