Drilling hole in XD sight.

[Venom1956]

Hey guys I am drilling out a hole in a XD front sight for a brass insert and it is very hard I am wondering if anyone has a certain kid or type of drill bit i should be using.

It is made of hardened steel, you might be able to do it with a carbide center drill.http://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-t...drill-bits/carbide-center-drill-prod6544.aspx

So why aren't wrecking balls made out of styrofoam?

Carbide drill will cut it. But, they are very easy to shatter, so either buy more than one, or be very careful.
