Can’t remove S&W “quick change” front sight .. advice?
==================

Remember to dial 1 before 911.
Forget about stopping power. If you can't hit it, you can't stop it.

On one gun, I had to remove the pin. Then and only then would it come out. Also, you can put the gun muzzle up, and put some light gun oil in there for a while (in the hole where you see the pin, not the barrel) and then pushing down on the sight several times to let the oil in, should make it easier to come out.

This sight itself isn't pinned , but it has a pin, and deeper inside there is a spring and a plunger that keeps the sight in place.
IME I've found sand inside the hole - presumably when the gun is glass bead finished. And that becomes a problem when trying to remove the sight new.

Dawson fiber optic, .110" wide, .250" tall. The .250 is supposed to match closely the stock gold-bead sight. I find .100 nice, but maybe a touch thin. .250 width is too wide for my taste.
Not sure how thick the original front sight is. I can measure at home later for you.==================
