Default Loose front sight

I just noticed something tonight when I was putting my 27-2 in my safe after wiping it down that the front sight blade is a little loose. Not the topstrap but the blade. It is not the pinned in variety (which I actually prefer in most cases). The sight only moves back and forth a bit, not at all up and down, and I am wondering if it was from a few months ago when I did alot of testing with some hot loads, or was it always like this since I really never noticed it before. Are they all like this? All my other guns have fixed sights or are pinned in. This is the first Smith I had in years with this type of sight. I can't believe after four years that it has been loose and me not noticing but hey, who actually looks at that? The next question is, if it isn't supposed to be loose, how to fix it?

You can see the type of front blade here.
