I feel S&W should step-up and fix their error. A model 29 is an expensive gun designed to be used for game hunting, silhouette shooting, target shooting and self defense. Such a gun requires sights that one can align with precision to present the correct sight picture. There is no way to get a correct sight picture when the front sight is leaning to one side. I'd expect something like this from a Llama Comanche or one of the latest Rossi's to slide out of Brazil, but it is a shame on an expensive S&W.
