Foxtrotx1 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 There is some slop in my shadow 2 front sight. It seems to be able to jiggle a bit in the dove tail. The pin is still in and I have not messed with the sights at all since purchase. Is this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rnlinebacker Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 take the sight off, lay down some red loctite and put the sight back on. let it dry onto the sight and frame. should eliminate the wobble. the sight or dovetail were probably cut too muchSent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlvrDragon50 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 My new sight from Dawson does it. Doesn’t really bother me too much since it shouldn’t fly out with the pin. Loctite as previously mentioned or if it has a set screw, use it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuey Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Mine did the same. I just put some red loctite on it and it moves no more. I just had this fear of it coming off during a match.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmanick Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 mine does as well , no issues after a couple of thousand rounds through it. I will probably red loctite it down though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I had to drill the .90 Dawson front, realized it after bending a FS punch and destroying a FS pin but afterwards the pin was too loose. I can push it out with the punch by hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
