Plastic front sight or metal?

The plastic sights are trash after they come off. You might be able to remove the stake and reinstall it, but it'll just come out again later.

Metal sights for Glocks are usually held on by a tiny bolt. I guess that if that bolt is missing you'll have to call the company that makes the sight and order a replacement.

If the metal front sight is a stake-on, you should probably seek the services of a Glock armorer. If the bottom of the front sight is slotted, with a tiny wedge jammed in it, then you have a stake-on front sight. They might be able to reinstall it, but you'd need a special (expensive) tool.
