I purchased a Smith and Wesson M&P 9c about 2 months ago and had a set of TRUGlo TFO sights installed and the front sight keeps coming apart. The fiber looks like it is coming loose from the housing and cracking/shredding.
The first time I took my pistol to the range I fired 240 rounds, noticed that the fiber was poking about an eigth of an inch out of the housing and had wispy strands coming off of it. I took it back to the smith that installed them and he was kind enough to replace the front sight. The second trip, 210 rounds pretty much the same result, fiber didnt project as far but you could tell it was loose and there were a lot of wispy strands. This time since TRUGlo is located about 20 min from where I live I took it to them and had them repair it. They asked that after picking it up that I give it 24 hours for everything to cure well, I let the gun rest for a week. Took the gun to the range today and put 300 rounds through it, same problem as before, taking it back to TRUGlo tomorrow for repair.
The only good thing about this is that TRUGlo's customer service has been good, had my gun back in 24 hours last time and they seem genuinely concerned.
Has anyone else experienced problems like this and am I dumb for giving them a 4th chance? I really like the sights but this is supposed to be my CCW. The pistol has remained accurate even with the problem but still, they advertise a 12 year warranty and I haven't been able to make it past a week yet. I will update thiis after it is repaired and tested.
