Progress update.... factory front sight removed....
last photo of original sight still on pistol....
Since the original sight is "melted" on, there will be no way to save it for re-use.....
The only tool necessary for the removal process was a pair of pliers.... any pair will probably do....
Sight came off easily... just gave it a little twist and it broke off....
As mentioned earlier, there is no re-using the sight after removal...
Here is the hole in the slide... will post again soon with details about the hole and the Glock sight for comparison....
