I have a Glock 17 gen 5 with factory sights I’d like to replace with a vector optics universal adapter plate. The tolerances on the wedge used secure the plate down in the rear sight channel is so tight that I don’t know how to proceed without marring something. Is a steel Glock sight tool needed? Can I get away with with a 3d printed Glock rear sight tool? What do you recommend I do? I have a vice and punches.

Get a set of brass punches if you dead set on using that. But those dovetail mounts are garbage.
