I didn’t think there was any adjust,ent in a Glock front sight. It just goes in a hole in the slide with a nut on the underside.... | |||

There's a tool for the screw that holds the front sight in place (unless you have an older site, which is held in place with a plastic wedge). A tool is made for the front sights on the glocks, a narrow socket that works like a screwdriver. Usually the screw is installed with locktite, and it's a very small screw. Commonly, they shear off when removing the screw, necessitating a new sight. | |||

Unless Glock has made guns with dovetail grooves in the front of the slide that I don't know about, or the gun has been modified with one, the front sight isn't adjustable. | |||

All windage adjustment on Glocks is done with the rear sight. The front sight can be removed/replaced, but it cannot be moved from that centered position. If that's a typo in your title, and you want to REmove the front sight, removal will depend on what type of sight you have. If it's an older Glock with a factory plastic front sight, it may be staked in place. If so, just get a small pin punch and hammer, and drive it out with a swift blow from the underside. Or grab the top with a pair of pliers and twist it off. (Either way, doing so will damage the sight, so used plastic front sights like these cannot be reinstalled once removed.) Otherwise, most Glock sights, including aftermarket sights, are held on with a 3/16" hex bolt. You can buy a dedicated Glock front sight tool, or just get an inexpensive thin-walled 3/16" hex nut driver, such as the Wiha 26547. | |||

The front sight isn't adjustable, but some who install them put them on crooked. Attempts to correct that usually shear the screw. | |||
