A couple months ago I had a local ship install some night sights on my Custom II. A week after my rear site came loose so they fixed it. I noticed just the other day that my front site is loose also. How can I go about keeping this in place? It doesn't slide right off but I can move it with my fingers.

Loctite Green. Place a drop at one end of the front sight and slant the slide to allow it to wick itself up under the sight. Wipe off excess.

Degrease it well first tho. I suggest brake cleaner, letting it dry well then Loctite green it. Make sure to oil it after degreasing it tho as it will strip all the oil off it.

Send it off to have the front sight pinned. Red Loctite the rear retention screw.

That should end your problems.
