I was removing the rear sight on my m&p 40 and while trying to remove the set screw I stripped it. I'm not the original owner of this gun and it has some aftermarket sights on it. When I tried to remove the screw with a 1/16 hex I thought it felt like it was turning but I was just rounding off the corners the end of the tool was covered with metal shavings.
What do I do now? I considered using a screw extractor but I don't want to damage the slide. Should I take it to a gun smith? And if so who is recommended on the west side of Indy?
