| My new rear sight slides back and forth, but not out of the rear groove. How can I fix it? I bought it with XS sights and it was problem free, but I changed it over to Ameriglo I-Dot pro's. Do I just need to JB Weld/Super Glue the hell out of it? Perhaps a set screw? |
| So if you are pointing the pistol the sight slides front and back or right and left? Most Glock sights are a press fit so if it is that loose make sure you have the right ones for your model. I used Loctite on my sights but they also have a set screw. Check the documentation that came with the sights and contact the manufacturer if that doesn't solve it. |
| Remove the rear sight and then turn it upside down on a bench. Then hit the bottom of the sight with a sharp punch. This will create a divot with a raised edge around it, like a mini volcano. Then reinstall the sight. The raised edge will press up on the sight and hold it in the dove tail slot. |
