The lower receivers of Smith and Wesson Military and Police pistols are made of a tough. polymer plastic; this makes the pistols lightweight and impervious to corrosion. The pistols come standard with the buyer's option of three different grip-backs (the section on the back of a grip). Military and Police pistols are equipped with tactical, three-dot sights. The front sight can be replaced if the shooter desires to modify the weapon.
Instructions
1. Disassemble your pistol. Separate the slide from the rest of the parts.
2. Place the slide in a padded vise. Face the top of the slide downward so that the front sight is unobstructed. Spray the sight with penetrating oil. Let the oil penetrate for approximately one hour.
3. Place the brass drift on the bottom of the front sight. Place the drift at a slight tilt that allows the front sight to angle toward the ejection port. Knock out the sight with a hammer. Several strong blows are typically required.
4. Remove the slide from the vise, and turn it over. This allows access to the empty, front-sight slot. Secure the slide in the vise.
5. Position your new sight in the slot. Place a small piece of wood over the top of the sight; tap it in place with your hammer. Remove the slide from the vice and reassemble your pistol.
