I just got a new red ramp front sight for my S&W 629 Classic DX. Just wondering if anyone can help me out and give me some advice on how to swap it out. I'm basically just swaping a stock black ramp front sight for the stock red ramp front, but don't really know how to do it.

Thanks for any and all assistance.
 
Unless they've changed the sight mounting there should be a small pin holding the sight on the barrel. To drive these pins correctly and without damage to the gun or the pin you need a cup tipped punch. It can be done with a regular pin punch but be very careful because the punch will try to slip off of the round headed pin and scratch the hell out of the barrel. It should not take a very hard blow to drive it out. Secure the barrel in a padded vise that is bolted to a heavy bench so nothing can move but the pin. Use a small hammer. Light taps only.
