That had to have been a real hard fall. I’d take to a local gunsmith and have them replace it.

I'm on 2 different blood thinners. I can only imagine how bad I would bruise. If I didn't break any bones. I take calcium pill daily because I've had osteoporosis for decades. They have medicine they give old women for it, but nothing for young - middle aged men AFAIK.

this showed up today




took me longer to take apart my colt than it did to set up and push the sight out and new one in.

this tool is built like a tank. all steel, must be north of 5# not anodized aluminum like most on the market.  they are on sale right now at optics planet for just under $130   they are normally $169.  yes, you can buy one for $100+ less, but buy once cry once.

My rear sight removal/installation/adjusting tool is a brass rod 5/16" in diameter and 4 1/4" long with one end tapered down to 3/16". That and the right hammer and I'm all set. The best part is the price, which was nothing. One day at work a guy I knew was working in the crib where all the bar stock, etc. was stored. I asked him if I could get a piece of brass rod and he cut it off for me. It may leave a small brass mark on the sight, but if it does it scrubs right off without messing up the finish on steel sights. If they were aluminum or plastic it might be a different story.

I've had a sight tool for 25 years.  I never seemed to get the hang of it...I just couldn't get it right.  I paid a lot of money for it but maybe it's not just me.  No one sells the thing anymore.
