Thanks ... I think you are right...On closer inspection I see the threads are only in the slide.. the bottom of the base is very thin. I also think it was locktighted. It should come off with the right tools.. thanks all for the help

emailed Hienie..his reply says no .. maybe in the future. So..I ordered a Wilson from BE. Now I have one important question. I took the leaf off and was about to drift the base off when I noticed what appears to be a threaded insert that goes all the way through the slide. I can see the firinging pin. Anyone know if this is true or am I just seeing threads all the way down and some where in there is a joint betwene the base and slide ? I lightly tapped the base ... didn't seem to move. I don't want to wail on it if that is an insert. I need input from someone who has removed one of these puppies. Do I wail on the base or screw the aduster back in and try to pull the insert out ... or do I need to drill it out ?

Thanks for the info....One more question for those that have " been there and done that before". Does anyone make a decent fixed rear sight that would fit the STI/Bomar cut ?

I just picked up an STI Edge and would like to experiment with the rear sight width. Are these blades easily replaced? Could a Wilson blade be used ? If the answer to the above is no. Will the Wilson adjustable fit without any slide mods ?
