I just got a used 3rd gen and the previous owner installed Tru Dot sights.
My problem: the rear sights are off center. I know the factory sights have a screw to adjust them, but I can't see anything on the Tru Dots. They look glued in.
Am I missing something?
 
Drift adjustable I think. Brass rod, hammer, padded vice, and have at er. Some front sights have a set screw accessible from the bottom of the slide but the rear sight is usually either drift adjustable or has a visible adjustment screw. You might be able to get a sight tool which drifts the sight but they can be a bugger to track down (and not cheap either if I recall)

Careful with a brass rod, hammer, and vise. You can bubba your slide if you do not know what you are doing.

I would recommend the MGW Sight Mover for the Glock from Brownells.

I purchased one several weeks ago and have since removed 2 rears, installed 2 rears, and adjusted numerous others. Easy to use and it will not damage your sights and slide.
