Description
Getting your Glock to shoot where you're aiming often comes down to windage, and drifting a stock dovetail rear sight with a punch and hammer can be nerve-wracking if you've never done it. The TRUGLO Sight Setter takes that guesswork out of the equation. It's a purpose-built tool that lets you make controlled left and right adjustments to the rear sight, so you can nudge your point of impact over a little at a time and get it centered on the target.
The body is built from a composite polymer that won't scratch or mar the finish on your slide, which matters if you've got a duty gun, a carry piece, or anything you'd rather not add battle scars to. A magnetic holder keeps the wrench right where you need it instead of rolling off the bench or disappearing into the range bag. At about 8.25 inches long, it's compact enough to toss in a range bag and tune your sights on the spot after a group tells you which way to move.
What the TRUGLO Sight Setter Handles
Despite the 17/19 name, this tool covers a wide swath of the Glock lineup. It works with the 17, 19, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 41, and 45, so whether you're running a full-size competition gun or a subcompact carry piece, odds are it's covered. Keep in mind this is a windage tool for left-and-right adjustment only, not a sight installation press, so it's meant for fine-tuning rather than swapping sights on and off.
Why Windage Matters on a Glock
Glock front sights screw in place and aren't drift-adjustable, which means all your side-to-side correction happens at the rear. A small move at the sight translates to a big shift downrange, so working in small increments is the name of the game. Remember the golden rule: move the rear sight the same direction you want your bullets to go. If you're grouping left, drift the rear right, check your group, and repeat until you're dead on.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Sight Setter install new sights or just adjust them?
This tool is built for windage adjustment only, meaning left and right movement of the rear sight. It isn't a sight installation press, so it won't push a new sight into or out of the dovetail. If you're replacing sights entirely, you'll want a dedicated sight pusher instead.
Which Glock models does the TRUGLO Sight Setter fit?
It covers a big chunk of the Glock family, including the 17, 19, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 41, and 45. That spans full-size, compact, and subcompact frames. Just note it's made for factory-style stock rear sights.
Will this scratch or damage my slide?
No, that's the whole point of the composite construction. The tool is designed to be non-marring so it protects the finish on your slide while you make adjustments. It's a solid choice for carry guns or anything you want to keep looking clean.
Which way do I move the rear sight to fix where my shots land?
Move the rear sight the same direction you want your point of impact to go. If your group is landing left, drift the sight to the right. Work in small increments and confirm with a fresh group, since a tiny move at the sight makes a noticeable shift downrange.
