I would not use a hammer. Use the proper tools and get a sight pusher.

Did the soldering iron loosen it up any?
Itās a Firearm or Firearm Ac-cess-ories. Itāll probably take the Shock, Amiriteā¦ā¦?
($430 Optic)
(Dammmnitt.)
Wait, Eotech is an expensive and reputable brand. That was supposed to be the buy once cry once option?

That is ā ā ā ā ā ā ā wild
not much, mine didnāt really get the sight hot, I had a micro torch handy but
with all that plastic and paint thought notā¦but went well with the silicone
and at first nylon polymer drift punch then brass broke it looseā¦really clean
removal too, no errorsā¦got lucky.
Hope the Trijicons go in as niceā¦I can do a mechanical sight center right there
on the vise with calipers, then sort out the ammo probably AAC V-Max.
I wanted to mention, speaking of sights, I ordered a front F/O from
Dawson Precision, TXā¦ and wow what a errorā¦the sight was so far
from a fit it couldnāt be filed or stoned so they offer a refund but whoa
I pay all the shipping both ways?? Regret this and the stupid junk didānt
glo in the dark?
Fiber optic doesnāt glow in the dark? It glows in the day, tritium glows in the dark. Not sure Iāve ever seen both in one before.
So it does exist! I donāt see an option like that on Dawson Precisionās website though.
I mentioned it because these Dawson dudes are inept big time
the joker told me he sold this front sight for M&P Compact .22 LR
for years but never accepted the fact that my Dawson sight didāt
fit not even bothering to check if the correct sku was shippedā¦
then made me pay for shipping back and original shipping to me,
Just rubbed me wrong.
and no Dawsonās are not nite sights but make scant effort to make
that fact clearā¦theyāll even show all sorts low light examplesā¦geez.

I saw tritium sights on their website, but no combos with their fiber optic. Doesnāt help that it looks like a fiber optic under bright light.
Got the Trijicon irons in, was not a fussy job just one step at a timeā¦did
need to spend couple hours wet stoning the new dove but thatās better
than looseā¦no locktite used, wound up with a clean job and very low sight
picture as I was looking forā¦ opposed to the āsupresserā hgt. fact theyāre so
low I had to trim back the velcro was impeading on my bead. Last step is the
rangeā¦Iāll follow-up next week, should be good.
