Just got a new Springfield Champion at the Astrohall gun show in Houston. I picked it because of all the good things I heard about the new Springfield handguns. I had several problems with my new pistol out of the box.
1. Extractor was slipping off case heads and leaving brass in the chamber causing malfunctions. Fixed - new extractor
2. Front night sight was so loose it moves to the left under recoil.
3. Front night sight is not illuminated.
I dont mind fixing the extractor but I purchased this weapon for carry and dont have the funds for more than 1 gun at a time so I cant afford to send it back to Springfield. Anyone have a suggestion on the front sight?
Thanks
John
