I'm trying to replace the factory tall sights on my S&W 2.0 10mm , and my el-cheapo sight pusher that's served me well for glocks and Kimbers will not clear the tall suppressor height sights, all the one I've looked at online don't spell out if they work with tall sights , and my LGS wants 95$ hr to work on anything I'd rather spend that $ on a tool that I'll use a few times down the road , any suggestions.

This is a buy once cry once sort of thing. I have used the cheap shits, brass/punch and then finally this, and had to buy one. Since then have changed a few dozen sights out and NOTHING is better.

www.brownells.com I'll try the one from Nstar since atomic says he's used it to install tall sights ,and the price is alot more reasonable , would hate to spend 300$ and then find out it won't work with tall sights , thanks for the info guys .
It works on EVERYTHING. Have used it on 1911's, BHP, Glocks , Sigs, HK, S&W and a USP45 Tactical which has taller sights than anything you can dream of.
Agreed - this is the best I've ever used - will easily adjust to suppressor height sights. The only caveat - you have to buy separate slide plates for various brands / models. But, it's great.This is a buy once cry once sort of thing. I have used the cheap shits, brass/punch and then finally this, and had to buy one.

Just checked, and my Glock brand sight pusher tool has an adjustable height, and it has different slide plates for different brand pistols, and it even has one that fits my S&W M&P Shield 45, so i'm sure it has one that fits your M&P2.0 slide.

The NC star will work on a m&p, I’ve done a few. Just make sure to tape it up good so you don’t beat he piss out of it.
I’ve had one of these for years and it works on most Guns. However, it will not budge the sights on some HK’s though.

FYI - I’ve never been able to get my NC to push a front pistol sight, i.e. P-365, P-365XL or P-320. I tried making it work but it would not.
Now I have a few front sights that are basically permanent. I filed them to be close then thermally fit them (heat slide and freeze front sight).

With a good vise, properly shaped punches work just fine. Many years ago I started purchasing the MGW firearm specific sight pushers as that was all they offered. The Sight-Pro with firearm specific pusher mounting "shoes" is the best I have used. It will accommodate installation of tall sights. Two shortcomings I have encountered are (1) the top slide polymer support diameter was too large to install long front sights so I modified it for those situations (2) there were no centering marks to assist in guiding the sight to desired position, milled some lines to solve that issue. These Dawson front sights are 0.460" tall with room to spare.

When I was shopping around that was the best design and most versatile tool I saw. If I had known then I would be building as many pistols as I have I would have bought it then. Ive paid more than $300 for parts and other dumb crap.
Thought I would update this thread , I finally got the new sights installed about 2 weeks ago , the rear sight pushed out fairly easy with the Nstar tool , just had to lube the shit out of it, what's with that, the front sight was a bitch , I finally
chucked it up in the mill vise and milled it out of the dove tail , after destroying several brand new brass punches. Installing the new XS sights was no problem, went to the range today and did my bear drill and am happy with the new sights , was trying to avoid installing a red dot on the 10mm for bear defense and these sights are what my 67 yr old eyes needed.
Last two times when I needed to replace iron sights, I ordered a used sight pusher from Amazon Warehouse, it is a copy of Wheeler pusher
The pusher worked well, and after I was done I just returned it, paid $5 or $7 for return shipping label.
I'll keep that in mind, I doubt it would have worked though, that front sight was a sumbitch, wish I had just milled it out to begin with and saved alot of time and frustration, the sight picture is alot better than the photo I posted , it really is a big improvement over the stock sights and they're night sights too.
