I just finished putting Big Dots on my new G30. My other G30 and the XS instructions agreed that the factory sight was easily punched out. My new Glock factory front sight was screwed in with a screw looking like the XS screw only longer.
So, if you go to take off the factory sight and see the top of a hex screw on the inside, you might try using the XS tool and unscrew it before the pliers. Else you might use pliers and unscrew the sight but I'd be wary of scratching the finish.

I ordered a couple of things from the Glockstore for sight installation:

I'm awaiting the Trijicon HD Night Sights Orange Front Sight from Planet Optics... seems they have the Yellow(I have those on my XD45) but not the orange. I think I need a more visible front sight for me and maybe my wife. She can't see as well as I can at arm's length. Her near vision is really bad.
I did find a new G19 Gen 3 that popped up on GunsAmerica

The G30SF is Gen 3. Forgot to mention in first post that the rear sight was a normal tap out but the new XS was terribly loose as in fall through with little contact. I had to run the set screws way down which raised the sight enough to make a gap in the bottom. I'm going to shoot it to see if the point of aim is off. Then I can get in touch with XS and if they agree, send them my slide and the orig rear sight.
