Gosh I though Kimber sights were tight. Blocks of wood. Vise. Brass punch. Hammer. OK, then a steel punch, Hammer. It came out like a shot.
I would like to have had a sight pusher, but I was impatient.
Still, I did it the way countless guys have changed thier 1911 sights for 75 years.

I couldn't live without a vice. First thing I did when I built my shop. I built my work bench, then installed my vise. That was even before I set up the stereo or installed the compressor. Oh, the work bench is an old military metal desk with a 2" solid fire door bolted to the top and on top of that is a 5/8" steel plate that the vise is bolted to. Yeah, it's heavy. I use it when I'm working on engines and other car parts. Seldom when working on a firearm. But it's there when I need it. Kinda like owning a 4x4 pickup. How do people live without a truck? Aren't these required tools of manhood?
