Advice on drifting front sight, Ruger Am. Pistol

[sparkyv]

My RAP had the front sight misaligned OOB. Way to the right, and I tried drifting it with a vise and a hammer/punch, but couldn't get it to budge. I stopped before I buggered it up, and just I drifted the rear sight also to the right with no issue to get the pistol to shoot straight, but both sights look all cattywampus. I received a high quality sight pusher as a Christmas gift today and am debating if I should use it to drift that front sight. My concern is that it pushes the vertical part of the sight, not the dovetail/base. Any advice if I should attempt the drift, or is the vertical part of the sight too weak to attempt to move it, since my first attempt failed to even get it to budge?

I have a sight pusher and always push vertical part. No issue I know of. Put a little piece of tape on it so doesn’t scratch

I see someone at THR offered some advice.
If not, Amazon sells them and you can read the reviews on the one you have..

Edited as I saw the needmorecowbell's post.
