I just bought a mint SP101 in .357 made in 1993 with a 2 1/4" barrel. I owned the exact same model years ago and had no problem changing out the front sight, but this one is near impossible. The pin came out no problem, but I've pulled at it with a few different pliers, tried wiggling it as I pulled and all that's happening is the sight has marks along the side like a tiny grizzly bear clawed it. I even tried lightly tapping on the sight with a hammer at different angles and nothing. I was thinking about throwing the entire gun in the freezer for awhile and see if that helps.
Anyone got any advice or had a similar problem with their SP101 front sight? I've worked on many guns and changed out many sights, but this one is more than a pain.
