I don’t think they make the straight version anymore. The big names don’t seem to stock it at all, and if you can find the straight version on a website somewhere, it will be listed as out of stock.
If anyone knows differently, I’d like to put an annotation on the video about where to get them for those that need the straight-sided jig.
I’ll say it outloud… i’ll give the MGW a 'Meh", because it could be better. I own one, so i feel i’ve got the right to complain about it.
What ticks me off is that they designed it in such a manner that it takes 2 different $100 pushers to service all aftermarket Glock sights. That’s kind of a consumer rip-off, at least in my opinion.
I’m no genius, not even on the internet… but if it had a wider housing with a longer travel shaft, you could use the ‘outer’ straight edges of the sight notch to push on/off straight sided sights. Sour grapes i know, but damn, it could be a better tool, and a better value.
Luckily for me, i have a love affair with Ameriglo Glock sights that are angled, so i broke down and got the MGW on sale while using a Visa gift card.
Rant off…
I’m not on the up n up w/ these tools…so which do you guys recommend for the RB1 sights??? I’ve got 2 17’s waiting 
Thank you in advance…
Brownells has the straight side in stock.
I ordered the 309S in stock last night from brownells for straight side sights. I have used this exact tool to install two sets of RB1’s as well. I would buy this tool always unless there is one special slanted sight you need it for. It works great for removing the stock sights.
I have a MGW sight tool for the M&P and it works amazingly. I have installed sights on probably a dozen M&Ps
A couple things that I learned during my first install:
Tape the slide where the tool makes contact with it. It may take a little bit of the finish off otherwise, but nothing bad.
put a tiny piece of business card or duct tape between the tool and the edge of the rear sight. That will keep the sight looking perfect.
I used mine to install a set of Ameriglo CAP’s on a G19 yesterday. It’s a high quality tool.
Love mine. Been using it for years. Installed more than a dozen sights with it.
Your rant should be more directed at the companies that make all the differently shaped sights for Glocks, not MGW.
For installing GLOCK rear sights I use both the 9mm and 10mm old GLOCK factory rear sight tools. A MGW slanted rear sight tool and the MGW “tall” (straight walled) sight tool and 4 different front sight tools. I install on average between 20-30 sets of GLOCK sights per week.
bought a MGW tool last year or so. works great for the most part. installed a few sets of trijicon hds on my glocks.
only trouble i have with my MGW is that the screw mechanism is very tight on each half rotation of the T handle. easy/hard/easy/hard/easy/hard…all the way left and right. i can’t spin the T handle with one finger “as seen on TV”. it’s well lubed. i can actually see the screw bend ever so slightly each half turn. looks like the pusher is rubbing on the back portion of the aluminium housing.
bugs me when installing because it’s hard to tell if the sight is tight or not…or just MGW binding up each half turn.
i did call MGW a while back…they kind of gave me a non-answer.
anybody else have this issue?
I have never had this issue while installing a properly fitted sight.
He is saying the MGW tool binds on its own. Mine does too. Used it to put Warren Tacticals, no issues though.
Yes I realize I’m bringing this back(felt like the right home for this though,) but if you found yourself installing lots of Warren Tactical rears, Sevigny Competition rears, and Sevigny Carry rears which would you choose? Or does that list already make being a one tool house impossible?
I picked up a used Glockmeister tool a while back and it works.
Comes with the front sight tool as well.
I have both the angled tool and the straight sided tool, inbound from Brownells. When our PD went to Glocks in the early 90’s, we had the original rear sight adjuster from Glock that was handmade, by some guy I forget now, but anyway after I retired I understand it disappear from our armorers kit, which is a shame because the thing was built like a tank, and did a great job. Anyway, since then I have used a leather mallet and a brass punch, but I am always concerned about damaging a sight(never has happened, but it could) so I look forward to getting the new tools.
I use this : http://www.sightpusher.com/
Its fantastic for the money. Has worked on everything I have tried thus far, Minus a 92FS with its retarded sight config and frame decocker in the way.
At first I laughed at it, then I saw my FFL use it on a bunch of guns and went home and ordered one.
Freddie at Robar showed me this one at Shot Show. Pretty impressive but not cheap. http://robarguns.com/pro-shop/product/unipro-sight-tool/
I am cheap so I just use a pocket stone/triangle file, hammer, and an aluminum rod with masking tape on the end
