Just a shooter, functions 100%.

Was out shooting today noticed the groups were nice but 4" left of center, looked and saw the front sight had drifted to the right.

Ideas to secure/ Red locktite? The rear sight has a set screw, front does not appear to have anything.

UPDATE: sent the slide off USPS on the 13th, got it back today. They did a nice drill/pin job, looks great.

THANKS Ruger for the fast turn around.

One option is to stipple the area under the front sight with a small punch thus adding some friction to the fit. I had a BHP with a loose front sight that I shimmed with a piece of brass shim stock. You might explore these other options before going to locktite. I'd want the sight stable and the fix looking good enough to not affect the resale value.
