My intial use would be on a 1911, but for the prices of some of them I'd like to be able to use it some other makes/models I own also, rather then buying model specific tools.

I mean the kind that can be used to incrimentally push the front sight left or right in the dovetail slot.
No....it wasn't a joke, I was serious.
something kinda like this for example
I have found several online, but some are kinda pricey and wanted to know which ones work best. I dont mind paying for a quality tool, but just cuz it's pricey doesn't mean it's quality."Freedom begins with an act of defiance"

Many dovetailed front sights on 1911's are drilled and roll-pinned in place; the normal way of adjusting windage would be to drift the rear sight rather than the front. Rear sight=move sight in the direction you want to move the group; front sight is opposite."You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

One it's centered you usually don't want to mess with the front sight. Drift the rear sight.Always remember to pillage before you burn.Comment

Already did that. Problem is when I do that the rear sight is WAY over to the left. Had to do that because the rear sight came loose. (Novak rear sight with allen set screw) Sighted it back in, by shooting and with laser bore sighter and rear sight ends up way over to the left side to get group centered up again.
So something is not right...figured if I could adjust them both they'd both end up more centered.
Only other option is send it off to a gunsmith, but I dont have the funds for that right now."Freedom begins with an act of defiance"
