The trick to the Glock rear sight install with a tight dovetail is to clamp it in a heavy vise and use a brass or aluminum punch and a medium size ball peen hammer. No soft jaws. Soft jaws absorb the shock necessary to move the sight. Use aluminum or a like soft metal that won't mar the finish. There will still be times a little filing is required but not much.

This has been my experience as well - though a sturdy surface will work in lieu of a vise if the slide is layed on it’s side. I’ve always used a brass punch, then scrubbed the brass off the sight afterwards. Calipers or a micrometer can check alignment, though eyeball calipers will get you pretty darn close.
