Well, before I bring out the sledge hammer, does anyone have any tips for removing the rear sight on an XD45?

I found a tool, made for Springfields, that is marked right on the tool: "Not for removing extremely tight factory rear sights."

Any experience here?

Thanks,

I decided I could send it to AP&W & have them remove the sights & hard chrome the slide & barrel for what a good sight pusher would cost me.

That's the most economical one I've seen!

Got my vice in today. The thing is built like a brick sh*t house. Remember that the directions on the site say to soak your site in a penitraiting oil for 24 hrs. behor trying.

Have you tried it? Since the original sights are staked, I'm not sure what effect soaking it is going to have on them but, what the heck, if it works.

Let us know how it works!
