First let me say how happy I am that my wife got me a S&W 625-8 Performance Center 45acp for Christmas. I already have a couple hundred rounds through it, and it shoots fantastically. I also want to say that I'm pretty much a semi-auto guy, so I'm somewhat ignorant when it comes to the world of revolvers...though I appreciate their beauty.
However, as I unbox my new beauty, I notice that the front sight has a hole where the gold bead should be. There's nothing there. I can still shoot it fine, but I'd really like to have the gold bead. (No, the bead isn't rattling around in the box.)
I see that I can buy an entirely new gold bead front sight, but I'd rather not do that. I'm not finding "beads" to insert. Do I have to send the revolver off to S&W to get this fixed?
What do I do here? My beautiful new pistol is incomplete.
Thank you in advance for any advice / help you can offer.
