Sight dot fell out

[spitfire51]

So I'm not sure when exactly it happened, but some time today the white dot fell out of the front sight on my M&P. Anybody ever had this happen? Not sure if there's anything I can do except replace it, although this may be the excuse I need to justify putting night sights for it.

Never heard of it, but does sound like a good reason for some new night sights.

I've heard it before and I believe there is a thread on here. I think I read that the person sent it in to S&W and the fixed it for free and also sent them some free stuff back.

If it's just the white dot that fell out you can easily replace it with a drop of white Testors Model Enamel. I've done quite a few over the years. You can use white, yellow, orange or whatever color you want. Just put a drop in with a tooth pick and let it dry overnight and you're good to go. If it's the whole sight never mind me.... Lol.

Mine fell out on my Walther P22 the day I brought it home. I just used a white crayon and filled it in, can tell a difference.

Wow, I guess I didn't read the OP very well.

I have had a front sight come off a Colt.45 auto once, but never a white dot, then again I am mainly a Glock guy and have never heard of a dot falling out of one of their front sights.

The dot on my M&P compact fell out after about 75 rounds. I called S&W and they sent me a new front sight. They gave me the option of sending it to them or just getting the part for free. Great customer service in my opinion - I'd give them a call. FWIW - I ended up taking it down to Elmore's and getting night sights - $100 installed.

The dot fell out of my .40 M&P too; I used white fingernail polish. Still on after several hundred rounds.

The dot fell out of the 3 M&P's I've got. I just put a drop of white enamel paint in there, looks like factory. I have several thousand rounds through one of them and it's still there. Not a big deal but you'd think S&W would have fixed that annoyance by now.

One more here. My M&P9c had the dot come off after a hundred or so rounds.

Fill it in with model paint

 

[thekuhnburger]

for $600 you would think they would've fixed the problem by now.

Same happened to my dads m&p 9... still haven't done anything with it yet, the crimson trace grips still work though so it hasn't been of great importance

 

[bambek]

It happened to my 40 also....funny thing is I have only about 25 rounds through the thing. Just filled it in with white nail polish.

 

[Hoosier45]

Me too. On my M&P9 the first week I had it. I painted it myself.

 

[sloughfoot]

White out. Yep, the same thing for fixing typewriter mistakes. My goodness, do they still make white out? Do they still make typewriters?

Hey, if you ask, I have some great long range loads for the 30-40 Krag..

This. Not worth sending the gun back for this minor issue.

sucks to hear your sight dot fell out but, go for it. Night sights all the way lol
