HELLO ALL TO YOU DAN WESSON REVOLVER OWNERS, I AM NEW TO OWNING A DAN WESSON 15-2, I REALLY NEED SOME ADVICE ABOUT GETTING SOME UPGRADES DONE TO MY DAN WESSON 15-2 357 MAG. I WANT TO CHANGE OUT THE FRONT SIGHT ,BUT HAVE TROUBLE FINDING OUT THE BEST WAY TO DO IT. I READ ON A DAN WESSON SERVICE REPAIR PDF, THAT ALL I HAD TO DO IS BACK OUT THE SET SCREW 1/8 INCH LOCATED AT THE FRONT OF THE BARRELL ABOVE THE BARREL NUT, THEN PUSH SIGHT FORWARD AND PULL UP ON FRONT SIGHT TO REMOVE. I DID EXACTLY THAT AND THE FRONT SIGHT DOES NOT SEEM TO MOVE AT ALL. CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE GIVE SOME INPUT ON THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST!!! "BIGBANG357"

With the front set screw loose or removed, you could try smacking the sight forward with a plastic mallet.
