[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Front Sight Question

Posted: 6/12/2013 10:47:19 AM EDT

Just to start, this is my first Glock.

I am wanting to swap out my factory sights for some night sights on my G32C. I am trying to order the front sight removal tool and my front sight doesnt seem to be secured with a hex key. Any one have any idea what I need?

Edit: Just cleaned out the copper

Edit 2: Is this just crimped in? Can I just pull it or punch it out?

You can use tiny needle nose pliers to squeeze it and push it out. Or just take a punch and knock it out (note you can't reuse it if you do this lol).

Thanks, I got some Truglo TFO sights coming so I am not worried about reusing the old front. If need be I'll just order another

They are cheap enough, just order an extra if you want to replace it later.

If you need another OEM front, send me an IM. I have 4-5 sitting in the parts bin that will never get used.

If you have the factory plastic front sight it's staked in. They come out really easily, just grab it with pliers and twist it off. Or rest the side of the front sight against the edge of a table and smack the slide like you're popping the cap off a beer bottle

. You will need a front sight tool to screw in the new front sight.
