Did the sight come out of the dovetail? Or did the rod come out of the sight.

So I managed to recoil my fiber optic front sight out. What should I use to secure it back in place?  Fiber Optic Replacement |

Not a RIA, but I put a new fiber in a 1911 front sight, only mushroomed the back side and put a drop of superglue on the front.
It has stayed in for a couple years now. |

I use the lighter for both ends of my fiber rods. It actually makes the head get smoother and it seems to brighten it up quite a bit.
It only takes a second or two of heat to mushroom it out, not enough to hurt the blade at all. I do use one of the jet flame lighters that is like a mini torch flame. |

Idk what size rod they use, but that might be the problem. You sure you have the right rod? If there is a hole front and back, that rod should go all the way through.

The superglue thing has held up well. Many rounds of “snappy” .40 and the rod is still there.
