Real Avid has expanded their line of smart gunsmithing tools with the introduction of the new Master Sight Pusher. As its name implies, the tool is designed to easily and safely remove and install press-fit pistol sights. The over-sized Easy Torque Handle partners with extra-fine drive threads to provide plenty of torque, with minute adjustment capabilities for precision adjustment. If this is not enough, however, a 3/8-inch ratchet receiver allows additional leverage for pushing more stubborn sights.

A reversible universal press block features multiple contact surfaces for almost any size and style of press-fit dovetail slots and sight profiles. The slide cradle is adjustable, with non-marring contact surfaces to deliver a secure hold on both 1911 pistols and pistols with flat-bottom slides. The Master Sight Pusher also includes spring-loaded vertical adjustment knobs, as well as a safe lock anti-torsion frame for optimal control.

Another feature of the Master Sight Pusher is the bench face attachment ridge, which allows for attachment to any work bench. For more information on this handy tool, perfect for switching out sights on your favorite semi-automatic hunting pistol, check out realavid.com. MSRP: $149.99

Behind the Bullet: The .22 Long

If we could rewind the clock to 1871, before the .45-70 Government and .45 Colt existed, and when cartridges themselves were just establishing a foothold in the shooting world, you’d find a pair of .22-caliber rimfire designs: the .22 Short and the .22 Long. Aptly named, these cartridges would survive well into the 20th century, ultimately being conquered by the .22 Long Rifle cartridge. But in certain situations, the .22 Long cartridge still makes good sense, and actually has a few specialized applications.
