Default loose front sight?

so the front sight on my 9mm sigma is very loose, and i know its basically just a press on kinda deal, so replacing it is the only road to take. Please post any and all options i've got, as the only thing i can find for sure is the meprolite sets, but i have no idea how to replace the rear, and dont really care about night sights. what about a glock sight? i've heard it'll work with a little filing. so ANY options please! and where to get them also if possible! thanks! also - anyone make a good IWB holster for this weapon?

lemme tell you that if you dont get the "filing" just right on the glock front sight it will never sit right on the slide.....if it were me, id get a meprolight front sight or the whole set. Changing the front and rear sights are easy, actually the rear was easier than the front. that little damn screw for the front is a pain to get started. OR send the slide to S&W to put on a front sight....
OH and whats wrong with night sights??

So i found a set of glock factory sights for 3 bucks on a local classifieds. gonna have the guy send it to me as its about 3 hours away from me. hoping that this will work. wont change the rear sight though, just the front.
