Looking for someone else's experience -

I have a Truglo sight, my wife has a Cobra. On both sights, when you move the individiual pins and then try to tighten them, the pins try to rotate in the direction you are turning the set screw. Neither is a "cheap" sight ($70-$80), and I would expect the machining tolerances to be tighter.

Is this common on other sights, or is this an operator error?

Ican't honestly answer your question but can give some advice. If you decide to change your site you can eliminate the problem by buying a TrueGlo Lite sight. That is assuming you can live with three pins. I guess you could add more for a couple of bucks. I know it's made of polycarb but it's a heck of a sight for $20. Just an example of the quality you can get for on the cheap.
So why am I using a SureLoc with a Bullseye Millenium Grande? The Lite Site is for hunting. KISS

THIS CAN BE A PROBLEM THE ONES THAT I USE TO HAVE WERE LIKE THAT AND I WAS JUST VERY CAREFUL WHEN I MOVED THEM ONCE I GOT THEM SET I DID NOT MOVE THEM BECAUSE OF THAT.

I don't think it is anything you are doing wrong, as I had a cobra site also and I had the same trouble with it. I know others that shoot the same style sight and they all complain about the same thing. I guess short of changing sights caution is the best advise. Good luck.
