I hear ya... ugly as all get out. I think the front site may be removable though. If you go to the website link I posted, under the picture there are different tabs. Go to the performance tab and it will bring up a different picture that's zoomed in for a few different areas on the gun. If you go to the front site pic, it looks like there might be a way to remove it. I hope if they put something so ugly on the front, they would make it removable. I'm sure it functions just fine, but when it comes to guns, they cost too much to look ugly. haha
