Default Bodyguard Front Sight

Was handling my M&P Bodyguard tonight and noticed the front sight is moving left and right VERY easily. Just touching it will cause it to move either direction. I'm not real familiar with drifting sights, so can somebody tell me what to do to keep that front sight in place?
Thanks

In all honesy if it was me, I would contact S&W customer service & request that they look into it & take care of it... A gunsmith locally can fix it but you may risk having it slide around on you again. At least S&W would probably just give you a new slide w/ a sight that would probably never move on you again.... Just give 'em a phone call...

That's what I'll probably end up doing since I don't really have a good alternative. Hate to be without my lil' buddy for very long but you gotta do what you gotta do I guess. Thanks.

Calling S&W is the best solution, but if you are at all mechanical you could take the sight out and ping the bottom with a punch and take care of it that way. Also another solution would be use some red Loctite on it under the sight. Once dried the sight will not move again without heat on it first.
