Well, I can take some consolation in the fact that there's someone else out there who's similarly-minded to me. When I saw that it was a glue on sight, I was also a little disappointed, and like you, would have thought twice about ordering it if it was advertised as such. Also, I thought that glueing a front sight on such a lightweight revolver would likely mean that with my luck (mostly bad), it would fly from my revolver at the most inopportune time. So, it looks like I'll be drilling a hole in the XS Sight so I can pin it as well. If it was already drilled, I wouldn't have such a heavy heart right now and the sight would already be installed. Sounds like a good rainy day project to me.

-Thanks for your posts. If you have any more tips or wisdom gained from installing this sight on your LCR, I'd be very interested in hearing them.
