Ruger Magnum front sight

I want to replace the stock front site on my Ruger Magnum....what's the trick to getting it out? I've pushed the little button down and gently tapped with a plastic mallet,,,actually a little more than tapped...no luck. I was going to put a quick application of a heat gun to it....good idea? I just don't seem to be able to budge it.

Thanks for any suggestions.

If they are like to old Ruger M77 front sights, you are doing it the right way. If it is sticking that hard put a little Liquid Wrench (or any other pentrating oil) on it for a day or so and try tapping on it again.
