Need a source

Just wondering where everybody is getting those brass pin punches that you need to remove the Handi sights and trigger group.  Any help?

I have some brass punches, but the small ones don't work very well on pins that have never been removed, they just bend, they work fine for reinstalling the pins tho.  I just use steel pin punches to knock them out, I used a small stone in the dremel to make them cup points so they self center on the round headed pins. Brownell's sells a small one for the front trigger guard pin, it's listed for use on a handgun.

Thanks to all for tips and references.  I have ordered a set of 8 brass pin punches.  Dang, all these hobbies can get expensive.  Since retirement, I've collected way too many hobbies and need to thin the herd down.
