Ok I found this STI 2011 tactical really cheap, there is has a couple issues. One of the problems is that the front sight is seared off, almost all the way to the slide. Before I go and buy it I want to see if it is possible to remove the front sight.

yep, should come right off.
it looks like there is some loctite on there, so you might need some heat to loosen that up.

Nothing a bench vise and a hammer and punch shouldn't be able to take care of.  

And like the above poster said, maybe a little heat to loosen up the loctite.

Mail the slide to STI, and wait a few days?

That's an easy fix.   What's the other issue?
