One reason routine cleaning is a very good idea. Things like this to not contribute to acquiring a good sight picture.
A little nail polish would fix that right up!
Pink is highly visible!
I can save you a bit of time- Devcon 5 minute epoxy, with a dab of Testors Bright White enamel blended in will stay pretty much forever in a steel body. If you're keeping the plastic sight body, I'd drill it out a bit to give the epoxy more to hold onto.Did the nail polish trick when this happened on the S&W. Stayed put until after a few cleanings. I'll probably conduct some experiments with these sights after the new ones arrive.

If you use the Testors to paint the inside of the dot cavity, you can make decent night sights with the Devcon and a healthy pinch of one of these: luminous powder. Hit it with UV light at dusk, and you're good 'til morning.
I first tried it with a Sig P250 that had the funky proprietary sights. The fellow I made them for says they're still going strong.Got an ounce of this powder in white, Rob, thanks!
Seems to work very well. Have noticed classic revolvers really seem to benefit from a touch of white nail polish, going to add this.
Been shooting a lot at an indoor range with semi-poor lighting... Can't add tritium sights to many of my favorites.
