    reel_crazy, pm me I have one. And yes, you don't want to start banging on a tritium sight, they don't like that and turn off the light.

    Never tried it with trijis but I bet it would be fine. I put TFO's on all my Glocks that way, done it at least 15-20 times. never had an issue yet (knock on wood)

    But if someone has a pusher you can use, no sense taking a chance

    Use a piece of 1/4" hardwood dowel rod as a punch if you can't find the tool. Works nicely and won't ding up the slide.

    My experience has me using a pusher on those sights.

    When you say "needs to be able to handle angled rear sight type", I presume you mean tapered on the sides, correct?

    I have a couple of pushers. PM me.
