How to remove Glock front sight when screw is gone?

[Moe_Fugga]

Throw it in a trash compactor and buy a FN. Problem solved.

GOING TO HAVE TO DRILL IT.

That’s what she said.

Pin punch and a hammer should do the job.

That is a factory-swaged sight. There is no "missing screw", as it never needed one.

Carefully grab the sight with a pair of Vise-Grips and simply twist it off. It WILL break; just use a punch to push the fragments out of the hole and it'll be ready for the new sight.

I stress the carefully part because it's easy to scratch the finish if the jaws of the Vise-Grips scrape along there.

Probably get the grinder with a cutoff wheel

Brilliant!

If it has no screw it should pull right off with a pair of needle nose plyers.

This was my initial thought too when I read the OP. Lol

So you're the reason I'm trying to solve this 2022 problem?
