Default Adjustment screw size

One of my shooting buddies bought a pre-owned S&W Body Guard 380 with the Insight Laser Sight. The laser needs a slight adjustment but he did not get the small allen wrench to make the adjustment and I don't have one that small. Does anyone know what size it is so I can buy a couple?

Thanks.

Don't know what size it is but my guess is it's metric and teeny weeny.
You can buy a set of allen wrenches probably cheaper than buying
2 of them separately,and chances are you will find a need for other sizes at some point anyway.

Guns and tools go together and are an investment in your future. Most of us have a small collection usually gun specific somewhere in the house.

You might try online at S&W, contact them & maybe they'll feel sorry for your friend & send him a couple

.050 is the smallest I ever recall seeing. You might try L-3 Insight Technology - Tactical lights, weapon mounted lights, tactical laser products and thermal imaging systems they made it!
