qwkdrwS&W M&P 2.0 compact sight issues..?
So, I was shooting an IDPA classier and all my hits were way left of aim. Long story short, my rear sights had shifted.
I loosened the set screw and I was gonna use a brass punch to push the sights back to center. I realized I could easily move the rear sights with just my fingers. Are the rear sights normally that loose? Did I get a good wonky slide?
The pistol has been fine otherwise. No other issues.

sns3guppyThe M&P rear sight is not an interference fit like many dovetail, drift-adjustable sights. Hence, the use of the set-screw.

AZSigsYou an use a little blue loctite under the sight and on the set screw if you are worried about it coming loose

VictimNoMore^^^^^ what he said. I've had this happen on my 5" 9Pro model M&Ps. During steel challenge matches, no less.

Delta-3Agreed. Either blue or even green loctite should work.

Ryanp225They made it easy to remove because you have to take it off to replace the block plunger and spring.
