M&p-loose warren rear sight.

I just changed my front and rear sights to warren tactical. The rear sight can be moved side to side with my fingers. I can tighten the set screw and it seems to hold well but makes me uneasy. Is the sight going to stay put with a set screw and a little loctite?

Its probably going to be fine with the set screw tight, but for insurance, if you want an interference fit, you can raise a few burrs on the bottom of the sight by hitting it with a center punch at a couple of locations, say one on each side of the set screw. This will displace metal so that hopefully the sight will have some resistance to moving in the slide.

I had a defective Dawson (milled to small) front sight that I could slide through the slide slot by hand no set screw on the front so I staked it in place by slightly closing the dovetail with a punch not perfect but it worked.

 

Stake the sight not the dovetail...the sight is a much cheaper part than the slide.

Why in the world did S&W design the 2.0 to require the rear sight be removed to take out the safety plunger?

 

Do you mean the way all M&P's are designed?

Yes, but I only have the 2.0, so wasn't sure if the original M&P was that way.

 

Yep, they've been like that since the beginning. But I've always put an Apex USB in mine when I first swap the sights, so it's not that big a deal to me. I generally stick with the sights I put on there, so it's a one time thing.
