I noticed the rear sight retaining fastener screw thingy, on my small frame wouldn't lock down. Its tiny, so I looked under magnification, and it's cracked. Without getting into a novel, I just wanna ask a question. I was assuming that this needed to be loosened in order to move the windage adjustment. Is this correct?

I had to ask Well now I know. Thanks for the answer. I saw your other response and it was seeming like this screw is tough to get, cause I started looking, until I decided to get a tiny screw and spin it in my screwgun and file off some threads. It seemed to work really well, until I put the blade in. I found the thing had bent just a little and wouldnt line up with its mating surface on the blade. It wouldnt lock down, but was really close. I guess I will try to straighten it or make a new one. I asked the question because if the windage moved while this was tight, I would just locktite it. I can't check myself cause it won't lock down. BTW I tried a few rounds of a load of Trail Boss, 3.75 gr with a 158swc. It was good in my SW gun with a lazer. The DW was like a lazer
