Here's the deal,
I just received a Dan Wesson 15-2 and the only problem with it is the rear sight is a little wiggly. Not the part that mounts in the channel in the frame but the sight blade where the windage is adjusted. Now I know that there isn't alot of Dan fans out there but I also know that there is some very knowledgeable people out there. Can somebody help me?

Thanks, Bellzy

There's not too much that can be done, short of replacing the entire sight.
Some of these are simply loose from manufacturing differences.
The Dan Wesson is a close but NOT exact replica of the Ruger sight, which is a close but NOT exact replica of the Colt Accro rear sight.
While similar, they DO NOT interchange.

If you just can't stand it, you can replace the rear sight with a Millet rear sight.
They offer rear sights with White outline notch, two White dots for a three dot setup or a plain black Target rear.

Brownell's sell them:

Note that the sight base doesn't look like the picture, it looks just like the Dan Wesson factory base.
