@morgando2 - I'm sure you could super-glue it....but I would not entrust my life to a super-glued front sight. If you have a weapon with this sight system and you just use it at the range, then I'm sure it will be fine. If you carry as a civilian, LEO, or MIL...I would personally not consider the TRU-GLO fiber sight to be combat/duty worthy...just my opinion.
that sig is sweet! just went to the range/gun shop today and bought a 226 e2 elite in 9mm. Was a three way tie between the e2 elite the tac-ops and the SCT. Chose the e2 elite cause of my smaller hands and liked the beaver tail frame. Anyway, I shot their range gun 226 SCT and the TRU GLO FRONT SIGHT FELL OUT!!! and i lost it! then i thought of was your vid. For sure didn't want a pistol with a truglo. Sig folks should be aware that this problem is common. Thanks for the vid & info JSR
you said you don't carry this gun anymore, what do you carry now? also, I have one p229 and put some crazy glue on the sights and never had a problem with it.
I’m a firm believer in Trijicon night sights. I’ve had them on my Glock 30 for 9 years now and they’re still glowing bright. I even replaced my Sig night sights with Trijicon for my P229 duty weapon.
I bought a P226 SCT and love it; however, the second round ever fired out of the pistol saw the unbelievably shitty TRUBLO green filament fly right out of the front sight to never be found again. Never, ever, ever trust TRUBLO pistol sights. I contacted them via email, they told me to call; I did, but to no avail. I just want people to know.
Will some superglue do the trick? Of course, it's ridiculous that the sight doesn't stay put from the factory, but maybe it's not necessary to spend money replacing it.
@chi1qaz1qaz - you can contact Sig....but they will likely not offer to do anything unless the sight actually falls apart. If you carry your Sig that has this sight I would recommend going to your dealer and having it replaced with a standard SigLite front night sight; I would not risk that fiber optic rod coming out at a time that may cost you your life. If you don't carry the weapon you can use it until it fails or do some research into other sight options. Good luck and be safe.
Wranglerbarn has the Sig P226 Blackwater with the tru-glo sights and his front fiber-obtic/ tritium insert fell completely out. I guess Sig understands the problem, but won't switch sights. All their customer service will do is install another TFO insert.
can you drop some super glue on that sight
