Loctite 609 for replacement Glock rear sight?

[kcstott]

Zero chance I, an amateur, am going to attempt to peen up the dovetail, especially when plenty of folks in the 1911 community advocate using the green wicking loctite after the fact.



There are multiple green loctites. 290, which I used, is green, is not at all the same animal as the sleeve/bearing locker green stuff.

Your gun gun do with it as you please. I'm just passing on my experience.

I am sure your experience is better than mine.

I'm just saying that for me, personally, the idea of whacking the slide of a handgun with tools fills me with dread; well out of my skillset.

I know it's "just" a Glock slide, but it's MY Glock slide and I love it and don't want to risk F-ing it up, no matter how slight that risk might be.

No "whacking" here.
I use an air riveter because it's got WAY more control than a hammer.

I mean... are you saying that every example of a certain type of pistol, if shot from a mechanical fixture, is going to have the exact same point of impact?

At short ranges (7 yards?), I guess probably close enough to not matter in gun-fighting terms.

But go out to 15-25 yards and I think you'll start seeing meaningful variation that not everyone wants to Kentucky-windage compensate for.

Who shoots their pistol at 15-25 yards? Me for one... plus a lot of other people I see out at the range.

So you just assume they got it right at the factory??

Sorry everything is broke until it's tested. I tear down and inspect all new or even new to me firearms then test fire them and confirm sights are correct.

I have Mepro Light Tritium sights on all four of my Glocks. For front, I used thread lock. For rear I got this.
