I need to change the sight on one of my 1911s and its staked in with a roll pin.

 

Figures that all of my punches are too big. So does anyone have a 1/32" roll pin punch I could borrow for a day?

I'll lok when I get home. I probably have one unless that's the size I broke lol

I'm sure I have one if Adam can't find it for you

of course the 1/32" is the one that I broke and have not replaced so maybe pat can help you out

Thanks for looking. I've tried looking for one outside a set to buy and have had no luck with that either.

Damn. I've never seen one that small. Even McMaster-Carr doesn't carry anything smaller than 1/16".

you might be able to use a 1/32 drill bit in a pinch, you're probably more likely to have that in your tool box. 

I definitely have a flat punch that size. Let me check my roll pin punches tonight.

Doesn't need to be a roll pin punch. Not reinstalling the pin

I checked my sets -- smallest I have is 1/16 roll pin punches

 

I vote to try the drill bit like Alec suggested

None of my normal drill bit sets had a 1/32" bit. Luckily however, my grandfather was a machinist and gave me a bunch of his handtools and lathe attachments.  Found some 1/32" bits in there.  

 

Was able to get the old sight off and the new one on (really tight fit)

...and it turns out I was wrong. The smallest I have is 1/16". Sorry.
