The adjustable rear sight elevation screw snapped off of my PC M&P 40 2.0. The remaining stud was impedded in the sight so no good way to extract it, rendering the sight unusable because the unloaded spring forced the notch up totally out of spec.

Funny. Before I realized what happened I was wondering why all of a sudden I could not place shots anywhere near the target, much less even on the paper. A range officer finally came over and asked why I was shooting into the rafters... (subtlely implying I must be blind). The excellent S&W CS is sending a new sight.

Curious. How (un)common is this issue, if at all? Anyone else experience this?

I would think this is just one more example of how .40 beats up a gun.
 
Don't have adjustable sights on any of mine.

Many years ago (mid 80's) the rear sight elevation screw on my new M29 stripped out the 2nd day I had it/shot it. Never did it again but it sure put a damper on that second day of shooting.

Glad S&W is taking care of you.
