Mr. Smithshooter,
Take the slide off the gun put it in a sturdy vice protecting it with a shop rag. loosen the allen screw at least 1 full turn. Get out the brass punch put it down on the lowest flat on the sight and give it s few good smacks. It will move out if you loosened the screw. I have come across some that are very very tight but they all come out with the brass punch.
The key is putting in a vice and getting on the lower flat.
You would probably be well served if you took a little metal of the bottom of the sight's dovetail so if you ever need to move it again you can. Just go slow and check it for fit often.

ps if you take the sight off completly be warey there is a spring under there that likes to your floor more than your bench. :wink:
