I just bought a new Springfield Armory classic 1911.
It's Plain Jane, but it goes Bang.
'About 500 rds and I notice wiggly front sight.
It looks like there is plenty of metal holding it in from the underside, so I'm not overly concerned with it flying off. I thought since it's new I should send it to Springfield for the fix but I would feel silly, since it looks like something that a little red loctite would cure.
Maybe even a few small taps with a centerpunch or something similar to smoosh the metal from the bottom to tighten up the fit? Would I void my warranty?
I'm just not overly keen to be without my lead-accelerator for the duration of a trip to the factory.
(Also, if this subject has been covered, I apologize. I wonder if I am doing my searches clumsily, here. For instance "loose and front and sight", brings up nada. Is there a better set of boolean descriptors? And if so, where does one go to learn how to use them?)
