I have a 229 in 40 and the rear NS is so loose that it fell out once.  Is there anything I can do or do I have to take it some were to get fixed?  Any opinions.

Depending on if the gun is new, with nightsights installed at the factory, it (the slide) would go back, after a friendly phone call.
Forget glue or loc-tite, it sounds like the dovetail is oversize or the sight is undersize.
Another remedy would be to drill & tap the sight for a setscrew as another new sight may be loose too.

That's disconcerting on such an otherwise very fine weapon, for sure.

Yes it is brand new with 100 rds trough it and the rear site just fell out.  So I guess I will take it were I bought it and have thme fix it.
