Abstract

A sight pushing apparatus for use in adjusting a gun slide sight element includes a block member having exterior side, front, rear, top, and bottom walls. The block member defines an interior area having an upper cavity extending between the opposed front and rear walls and a lower cavity extending between the opposed front and rear walls. The lower cavity includes a first internal side wall and an opposed second side wall configured to receive the gun slide therebetween. The sight element of the gun slide is situated in the upper cavity when the gun slide is received in the lower cavity. A pushing member selectively extends through a side wall into the upper cavity. A jaw member is situated in the upper cavity adjacent the sight element, the jaw member configured to bear against the sight element when urged by the pushing member.

Dependent claims

A sight pushing apparatus for use in adjusting the position of a sight element on a gun slide of a handgun, comprising:

a block member, comprising:
opposed exterior first and second side walls and opposed front and rear walls extending between front and rear edges of respective first and second side walls;
opposed top and bottom walls extending between upper and lower edges of said respective first and second side walls;
wherein:
said block member defines an interior area that includes an upper cavity extending between said opposed front and rear walls and a lower cavity extending between said opposed front and rear walls and in communication with said upper cavity and with an area outside said interior area;
said block member includes a first internal side wall and an opposed second side wall situated in said lower cavity and configured to receive the gun slide into said lower cavity between said first and second internal side walls;
the sight element of the gun slide is situated in said upper cavity when the gun slide is received in said lower cavity;
said block member defines a first bore extending from said first side wall into communication with said upper cavity;
said block member defines a second bore extending from said second side wall into communication with said upper cavity;
a pushing member having an elongate configuration selectively received in said first bore or said second bore and being selectively movable therealong into said upper cavity;
and
a jaw member situated in said upper cavity adjacent the gun side when the gun slide is received in said lower cavity, said jaw member being movable inwardly in said upper cavity when contacted by said pushing member so as to move the sight element of the gun slide as a result;
wherein said jaw member includes an alignment flange extending downwardly from a bottom side thereof, said alignment flange configured to register with a complementary alignment groove on the gun slide when the gun slide is received in said lower cavity.
