Got my new APX this week. Of course it had to shoot a little to the right. I needed to adjust the sight a little. Its not very precise to adjust using a punch and a vise so I decided to get a sight tool. Then the next problem, which ones work and which one delivers on promises. Like any tool, I don't mind paying if it does what its supposed to do. From a hammer to a hammer drill. Its got to work. I did some looking around to see what was popular and then onto video reviews. Finally I choose the W Wiregear Sight Tool. When UPS arrived, I ran out to greet him (he's also a shooter and a nice guy).
After retreating to the basement, I opened the box. First off there is nothing to assemble. It is heavy. Heavy enough that it doesn't move about. Figured it out without the instructions, although I did watch a video review. Its not that hard. I took the APX apart (hmmm do you push the button and down with the lever, cocked or uncocked). Figured it out. Uncocked.
Placed the slide in the Sight Tool. Made a few adjustments to make sure it was as straight as possible. Whoops, it was adjusted too low. Adjusted it up a bit. Now we're good to go. Turned the wheel and adjusted the sight just a bit to the left. Right, move it the way you want it to move? There are measurements that help show you it moved. Then again, how far to adjust? I choose to adjust a little. Anyhow the tool did what it is supposed to do, quickly. Wanted to swap out the CZ sights at some point and now I can. The only thing holding me back was I didn't want to hammer them out. Even with a nylon punch, I worried about marks. I considered it too much work. This tool worked for me.
Who uses a sight tool and who uses other methods? I am sold on this and happy with my purchase.
