Welcome to the forum.
No, the sight should be tight in the dovetail groove. Someone will probably be along to explain how to tighten it.

I'm pretty sure there are some fairly simple homegrown fixes, though I'm unfamiliar with them.
Returning to Smith and Wesson is always possible, though at the moment they seem to have issues which might prolong the time until you get it back.
A pro should have no problem with it.

Cool guns. Is the one on the right a new PC offering? Do not remember seeing that set-up before. Is the other one a 7 shot .357 also? Right, no moment of sight of course. Local gunsmith could possibly fix without screwing it up.
