1/16" is correct. Some have reported that a 1/16"'fit loose, but I suspect they may have been using inexpensive wrenches with poor dimensional control. These set screws are installed with loctite and may be difficult to loosen unless heated. If you look at the notable thread index at the top of the M&P section, I have a thread that shows some tips and tricks for removing Shield sights and also set screws.
