My first handgun was a S&W 422 fixed sight model. I still have it after all these years and have decided to fix it up a bit, so I picked up an LPA TPU adjustable sight. I'm planning on removing the existing rear sight by placing the slide in a vice (padding it with some cloth covered wood to prevent marring the slide), and using a brass punch with the tip covered by cloth patch to knock the old fixed sight out, and then tapping the new one into place. I'll have a dremel ready in case the new sight needs some filing to fit. Does anyone have any advice or tips for doing this without marring up the slide or sights? I just really like this gun and don't want to foul things up.
