If you don't own a sight pusher, loosen the two screws on the sight, and use a brass punch to drift it.

What Trinimon said. They are a tad on the snug side and may take a bit more than a tap.

Ain't that the truth. I wonder if they use Loctite on 'em?

Get some of this, not for the oil but for the freezing effect. We use it at work for various applications. Shoot it on the sight, this will shock cool it, causing it to contract in size. That should make it loose enough to remove.

Damn, I got to buy me some of that. I used to use warm up the area with a torch then give the part a blast of air from an upside down can of compressed air. Not sure how cold that stuff was but it formed an icy frost on the part.
