I just ordered the Brownell's front sight tool so I can change out my front sight (ordered by mistake instead of the no-sight option) - just punch 2 pins out and replace with a new YHM folder front sight to get it out of the way of the optics. Best of both worlds, Haz.
And for God's sake, use a Dremel, not a hacksaw!! 
Dremel shmemel. By the time I filed, sanded, and blued it that thing looked a lot nicer than when it was made. I didn't need to buy any extra tools like a Dremel to do it. Now I'm wondering what kind of front sight tool you ordered since it takes a hammer and punch to remove it. I've never seen any special tool for it except a cup-tip punch that doesn't slide off like a flap-tip punch can. Free installation is available from YHM on all their products.
