I'm thinking about order a dawson fiber optic front sight and install it on my STI Edge, just wondering how hard to removed the old sight and install new sight on STI Edge? any input or trick appreciated, thanks.

Stan,

The standard sights should easily be removed with a punch and hammer. The Dawson sights usually come with an aluminum punch to help you with removal and installation of your new sights but save it for the install only. The aluminum punch is soft enough where it won't mar the sight.

The new sight may need to be filed slightly to fit and will need the proper angled file.

just check if the original front sight has a pin..... if yes you must remove it before to dismount the sight.

Remember to punch it from right to left aiming the gun to dismount and from left to right to mount the new one..
