sounds like you have a front sight with the standard dovetail. recutting the slide to match is the way to go. make sure you measure the sight before you make the final cut, depth of the final cut is critical. then, with a #2 swiss file, fit the base of the front sight to the dove tail. it should be a FIRM interference fit. just drift it in with a small hammer and a delrin rod as a punch. you could use brass, but it will smear.
