Anyone have problems with white falling off front sight? Seen reviews elsewhere that said this.

Mine show no signs of the white falling off and I have carried it about everyway you can think of.

Ive owned several sets of XS sights. From shotguns, ARs, leverguns, revolvers and semi autos. Not seen nor had any malfunctions. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another set.

Yeah a few people I know have had that issue. Only with the shield big dots apparently. However I know plenty of other that have not hhad the issue with their shield big dots

None at all. I was very careful not to remove too much material and fit it very tight in the groove. I also used some of the lock tight after it was installed to seep around the edges.

The sight is vial? If the whole thing falls off it was installed incorrectly. My factory front had to be milled off, so maybe your "smith" got carried away if you have a M&P.;

Just put one on a Colt 22 AR wuth A2 front sights and MOE hand-guard. It went on with zero problems. The thumbscrew needs some squeezing to take hold but that is the only small challenge. Solid component.

You can keep the front sight on, the top handguard installs from the top, and doesn't affect the front sight. fyi - when removing the original rail from the reciever, don't lose the small black metal disc & spring from the bottom of the backup rear sight.

I installed mine with blue loctite on the front sight threads and smeared a little under the sight, as well. I have had no movement in the months I've been carrying it on a daily basis.

I never attached the sights because i was missing some of the screws. Despite not using the sight, ive been shooting pretty well. I'm sorry i couldn't be of much help!

I'm going to say that it won't stay zero'ed in. After several hundred rounds I am having trouble keeping it sighted in. It seems to be built well but is now getting out of adjustment easily. Hope this helps.

mine did also, my son adjusted it and placed it back on the weapon shot over 200 rounds since with no problems.If not I would have sent it back as it got wobbling got worse until it would not stay on weapon rail.

It has not happened for me. It screws into place, it is not just plugged in. I use a Blackrapid harness, and the eyepiece has gotten snagged on my phone holster, camera case, clothing etc. and it has not fallen off. That being said, excessive force in that direction would likely be detrimental to the eyepiece, but again, mine has been snagged multiple times, and I have had no issues whatsoever.

my ar is a flattop but i do not think the sightmark will clear your fixed front sight without a modified mount. it is my understanding that most people co-witness the red dot with the front sight.

they're very durable and visible in low light conditions. I just wasn't able to accurately sight in my weapon. To me & this is just me, the front sight sticks up too high prohibiting accuracy & rubs against the inside of any holster other than one made especially for it. It just shot too high & having to compensate because of that made it unreliable. I removed it immediately upon returning home. I didn't see any way to adjust sights other than windage.I had to aim almost 6" below target & to me thats totally unacceptable & again, thats just me. Have the S&W; 40 Shield... If someone can solve that problem, please let me know how without having to shim the rear sight. Good luck they're very durable and visible in low light conditions.

Not quite sure what you mean, but the rear sight does not hang or snag on anything. It is nice and smooth. I use an open top holster and no problems. Fast sight picture.

I use a soft deep concealed holster and have never had any issues with the front sight catching.

No. This has not been an issue for me on my M1A Loaded version. I have shot 500+rounds with this mount on.

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question. My concern was that in bright daylight I would not be able to pick up the front sight once painted. I have a tritium insert so I have no problem under dark conditions or even at night.

Yes, bus don't Worry uf you bought a good batt. Longs almost a year , my advice use Green loctite to screw not a heavy one because in te future yo Will not able to unscrew andar yo Will damage the sight, if you have more questions please be my guest regards Hugo N. Gunsmith

it depends if your mounting your front sight on the end of a free float handguard or mounting directly on your barrel with a gas block. If your mounting on a free float hand guard, then your front sight is going to be way off, even if you use same plane or low plane BUIS. I mounted mine with a gas block because the aiming plane of my rifle looked more in line rather than the aiming plane looked high when mounted on my hand guard.

I've only had that problem once, when I removed it at the weaver base from the rifle. I was doing a full clean, and I wanted to make sure I didn't get any oil on the scope. I thought if I made sure to use the same slot, and tightened it good, I'd be OK. I was wrong. The scope was way off after removing it. There was only one other guy at the range that day, who was bored, and knows a lot more than me. When he saw how far off I was, he asked to check the scope. Of the 12 screws that hold the scope in the rings, a few had came loose. I told him I had removed it for cleaning, and he told me that if I ever do that, I'll never get it back exactly the same, and will have to re-sight every time. Since then, I've removed the ring screws, one at a time, and put on a drop of removable (blue) Loctite. I also tightened the base bolts slightly with a wrench. When I clean the rifle, I'll cover it with a plastic bag to make sure I don't get it dirty. It's done fine since, stays zeroed well.
