Never had an issue with mine.

I purchased a Sightmark Wraith Thermal scope for Hog hunting.

Put 100 rounds through the gun and no issues with the rear sight. Seems to be good and tight still. Might be awhile before I fully trust it’s not going to move.

Got the gun back from Springfield yesterday saying they replaced the rear sight. I tried to move it by hand and at least it wouldn’t budge. Will take it out for a range session tomorrow which will be the real test. They sent nothing extra with the gun.

Update: My gun is on its way back and the invoice states they replaced the rear sight. Hopefully they didn’t use the same one. We shall see as it will be back next week. Another update will be forth coming after the next range trip.

I thought I had the perfect Springfield 1911 Loaded Target until the rear sight came off with less than 50 rounds through it on the very first range trip.

My 10mm XDM ELITE is my EDC.

No update on the gun from Springfield. I hate waiting.

The whole point is it shouldn’t need fixing at all! If Quality Control was doing there job this wouldn’t have happened.

No problem but you did make me think about something I thought I checked.

It’s a target sight adjustable for elevation and windage hence the model Loaded Target.

Why wouldn’t customer service tell me that if that is all it was? The big top screw is for elevation adjustment. I am pretty sure I looked on the bottom side of the sight and didn’t see a set screw protruding but I may have missed it. I wasn’t real pleased at the time.

I emailed first got a response back up to two business days so then I called.

Yea I don’t think I should have to do that on a brand new gun. There is no tapping the sight back in place I can slide it with ease from side to side no resistance.

I have already contacted them and it’s on its way back but man I still don’t get how this is possible. I cleaned it and there didn’t seem to be an issue with the sight but I mean I didn’t like try to move it or anything. Their quality control really dropped the ball on this one.
