I am installing tritium sights on an M&P Shield and shaved a bit too much off of the front sight base while fitting it.
What can I do to make it fit securely? It is not loose when centered, but i don't trust it. |
| Take a prick punch and turn the sight upside down in your vise. Put a couple of dimples near the edge of the dovetail. This should help swage the metal out enough to tighten it back up. Go lightly at first until you get a snug fit. The metal is soft and it's easy to make a dimple too deep. Once you get it fitting tight, add a pair of suspenders to your belt with a bit of red Loctite. |
