[QUOTE="UnSafe, post: 1958227, member: 100"] A method- Dremel or Foredom tool with thin abrasive cutoff wheel. Make careful horizontal passes through existing site base (Pick a low/ easy spot) until very close to through the sight. Then, with magnafying glasses and a delicate touch, make additional passes until the center of the cut penetrates, continue gently and expand the cut until complete. Takes a delicate hand and 15 minutes. Yes, theres a risk of putting a grind mark in your slide. Worked fine for me, YMMV. If you end up taking it to a Gunsmith, take it to one that has experience with Kimber sights. As you know, they're in there very tight. [/QUOTE]
