I picked up my first Dan Wesson today - an early Model 12. Â Unfortunately while shooting .357 through it the elevation screw launched out -- I was able to recover it.
Â
However, the elevation screw seems to not have anywhere to sit its threads -- it just spins in its place like a nut or something was securing it from beneath.
Â
Can somebody give some pointers?

The end of the screw didn't break off in the frame did it ? 
 You should see some threads down in there somewhere.

No, the screw is pretty small but it doesn't appear broken.

If you can see threads in there, maybe your screw is not factory
and is too short.

It seems there is a little pin beneath the rear site. This little pin is threaded, but the little pin is not locked in place, it can move side to side.
This movement was preventing the alignment of the screw -- very aggravating.
