How in the world do you get the rear sight off of a P95?

I've taken the set screw out and have pounded the hell out of it with a brass and then steel punch it it won't move....

I then figured it had to be just this pistol and so I've tried it on a 2nd one and the same thing... won't bugg.

I bought a set of Trinitron sights a few years back and had decided to put them on my newest P95....

How are you holding the slide while pounding on the rear sight? I has to be clamped firmly in a padded vise so it absolutely cannot move under impact.

Still a pain to budge.... I realized that because I had pounded on both of them and even though it looked like they had not moved that I needed to check both to see how the sights were... So, I went to my gun club today... both at about 15 feet shot about 3" left and so I got out a punch and ball peen hammer and pounded some more... I think them having sat for two days with WD40 on the rear sight helped and I finally got both rear sights to move.... and sighted in....
