    Has anyone ever had the rear sight on their Glock model whatever shift to one side or the other? Last night I went to put my G30 SF Gen 3 in the night stand, I noticed that the rear sight (factory) had shifted all the way over to the left of the slide! The firearm has never been dropped, bumped against anything, or mishandled in anyway that would cause the sight to shift that much...

    Any recommendations on how to fix this problem, and not have it happen again? Or is this just the good Lord telling me it's time to upgrade to some new night sights?!?


    Update: Sight has been fixed.

    Seen it happen many times but usually from being bumped. Depending on the fit between the sight and dovetail it doesn't necessarily take a lot of force. If you can't push it back in place by hand it will probably be ok if you get it back in place, just keep an eye on it. If you can push it back in with your thumb I'd look to install new sights as soon as practical.
