Trijicon Glock Sight Installation Tool Kit GL02 Proven

Description

The Trijicon Glock Sight Installation Tool kit, part number GL02, is the pair of tools needed to fit a Trijicon Bright and Tough or HD night sight set to a Glock pistol. It contains a front sight driver and a heavy duty rear sight pusher, which between them cover both halves of a sight installation.

Why Glock Sights Need Proper Tools

A Glock front sight is not drifted into a dovetail. It is a post that passes up through the slide and is secured by a small hex nut torqued from inside, usually with thread locker. Reaching that nut without the correct driver means working blind in a confined space with a tool that was designed for something else.

The rear sight is a tight dovetail. Drifting it with a brass punch and a hammer works right up until it does not, and the failure mode is a canted blade, a peened dovetail or a gouge in the finish. The rear pusher in the Trijicon Glock Sight Installation Tool kit applies force squarely and progressively, which is the whole difference.

What Is In The Kit

There are two tools. The front sight driver engages the hex nut under the slide properly, so you can torque it down against thread locker without rounding it. The rear sight pusher is a screw driven press that takes the blade across the dovetail under control rather than in jumps.

The pusher has a cross shaped base so it stands on its own on a bench. That sounds like a small thing until you are holding a slide, a blade and a tool at once. With the Trijicon Glock Sight Installation Tool pusher standing by itself, both hands are free for the parts.

The 42 And 43 Caveat

The kit covers essentially the whole Glock range, with one exception worth knowing before you order. The 42 and the 43 have narrower slides than the rest of the family, and the rear pusher needs an additional adapter to hold them squarely.

If those two pistols are the only Glocks you own, buy the adapter at the same time or the Trijicon Glock Sight Installation Tool kit will not do the job you bought it for. If you own a mix, the base kit plus the adapter covers everything in the safe.

Why Shooters Buy The Kit

• Both tools needed for a Glock sight job in one kit
• Front driver engages the hex nut squarely instead of rounding it
• Screw driven pusher moves the rear blade under control
• Free standing base leaves both hands for the parts
• Also used for removing and for zeroing windage, not only installation

It Is Not Only For Installing

The same pusher is what you use to correct windage. Fixed pistol sights are regulated for a nominal load, and your carry or match ammunition may not print to the same place. Moving the rear blade a few thousandths is how that gets fixed, and it is a job you may do more than once across the life of a pistol.

It is also what you use to take sights off, whether you are selling the pistol, changing to a different set, or pulling a blade out of the way for optic work. A Trijicon Glock Sight Installation Tool kit is a tool that keeps earning its place on the bench long after the first installation.

Buy The Tools Or Pay The Gunsmith

There is an honest calculation here. A single sight installation at a gunsmith usually costs less than the kit. If you will only ever do one, pay the labour. If you own several pistols, change sights as tastes change, or sit at a bench for other people, the Trijicon Glock Sight Installation Tool kit pays for itself quickly.

The third factor is what a mistake costs. A rounded front nut, a canted rear blade or a punch mark across a slide all cost more to put right than the tools do, and none of those outcomes is unusual when a dovetail is worked with a hammer and whatever punch was in the drawer.

Working Safely

Clear the pistol and confirm it is empty before anything else, then take the slide off the frame and work on the slide alone. Sight work does not require a loaded firearm at any stage, and separating the slide from the frame removes the question entirely.

Use thread locker on the front sight nut and let it cure before shooting. After fitting, confirm zero on paper before trusting the pistol, because the Trijicon Glock Sight Installation Tool kit will hold a blade exactly where you put it, and where you put it is still your decision to verify.

Ordering

If you are choosing sights as well as tools, browse the rest of our optics and sights and read the manufacturer product page for the current kit specification.

Storing The Trijicon Glock Sight Installation Tool Kit

Both tools are steel and will rust if they go back in a drawer wet. Wipe them down after a session, particularly if solvent or oil found its way onto the pusher screw. Kept dry, a Trijicon Glock Sight Installation Tool kit is a buy once item that will outlast several pistols.
