S&W M&P Part Question

[roostershooter]

I lost the disc under the rear sight on my M&P while switching out the sights this afternoon.

Where can I buy a replacement, other than S&W?

S&W always takes 2 or 3 weeks when I order parts from them, and I'm needing it sooner.

Thanks

Thanks.

Since necessity is the mother of invention I came up with a temporary solution, just in case anyone is ever in the same boat.

I used a .308 brass as a punch and hit a plastic coffee can lid to cut out a little circle. It is a little larger than the original, but it works in a pinch. At least my pistol won't be inoperable until the replacement gets here.

dont know how late i am to the party, but S&W now uses a captured spring spacer, so if the spring goes flying, you either find both, or lose both!

Yes, I noticed that on my new model / revision M&P 9 Pro 5".

However, thanks for the heads up for everyone else.

Thanks, have the older model...might have to call S&W and see if I can get a captured one on warranty.
