I have an older white outline rear sight that, while not crooked, is missing part of one side and looks like a kid painted it on. So, I'd say that's the new 'normal' from S&W and has been for 10+ years. That's probably why they don't put white outline rear sights on many guns because they just aren't capable of doing a decent job on them - compared to say, Glock, who can somehow do it perfectly every time.
