      I have a set of truglo tfo on my 26. The rear sight screw/pin has found its way out. I can have the sights replaced under warranty, which may be a hassle due to removing them, shipping, waiting for return, not to mention being without my carry. My question is this; how integral is the screw? Will it's void create drift or any other issues? I called the company and they do not have replacement screws etc. View attachment 1153150

      A thread on a different glock forum says it's a #6-32 x 1/8" set screw. Go to the hardware store and buy one for a quarter, or whatever they cost, and try it.
      
      They are a little high at Home Depot - especially if you don't need 20, but I'll bet Ace hardware has individuals.

      Thanks. I may actually try going this route. Even if I have to pay for a set of 20, it's still going to be cheaper (and with much less hassle) than going the other route. I like the taran tactical...with shipping 13× the cost of the item. It made for a good chuckle.
